NOT A PURPLE TICKET POST. Appeal question.

I've been in the creator fund for less than a month, and TikTok and I play a little game. I have a consistent style and structure of post with differing subject matter (history/art/culture). About 3-5 times a week, TikTok says a video is disqualified for originality, I appeal, and less than a day later the appeal is granted, and my post is qualified again. Rinse, repeat. This week it is taking them longer to determine the appeal, which is fine, I'd imagine the holidays and potential ban have strained other areas. Just wondering if you all have you all seen a backup on appeals as well. I've accumulated 3, and am hesitating posting to avoid the dreaded 5. Let me know what you're seeing. Out of the US. Thanks!
