Significant reduction in spawns
For the last few days I now can no longer see any spawns where I live (in a rural area) where there used to always be three. I worked on a cluster spawn in the city and now there are only 2 spawns there. I've walked everywhere in my area and have found no new spawns. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Don't use IV checkers that ask for your Google sign in, IV Go for example. You'll get shadowbanned and only see commons. Delete anything like that, think about changing your password. 3 to 7 days of being boring Niantic will run their weekly scan and you should see everything that is there. Maybe same deal if you traveled recently
It varies on what they see on their end, but one day you'll just see more. Just change your password. I got s-banned for using IV Go, actually helped me learn more about IVs and I can recognize good catches by sight pretty quick now. Erased it changed password, 5 days later fine. When the tier 4 raids started I got s-banned for 24 hours, think someone reported me for feeding berries to defend a gym--they didn't see me there doing it. Just catch pidgeys for a while, most time I think they are most valuable anyway
