how long does this typically last?
From what I understand for the recent banwave for using mapassist, indefinitely.

If it’s maphack related it could be indefinitely, I would think a time frame would be given if you could.
It may be new account + purchase time.
yea i cant get a answer from these guys at all.
When you are Suspened or Banned from Blizzard games you should get an email to the Bnet account address. That will tell you the category of the violation and the duration of the penalty. Check your spam and promotion folders. Sometimes email filters can do odd things with corporate type emails.
If it says account closure, then that is Permanent. If it says Suspended, it should have a duration or date.

Harsh, perhaps… But it is effective in sending a strong message that Blizzard is enforcing the EULA/ToS for the game.
Far too long has Blizzard turned a blind eye on cheating in the original game. I for one am glad they are doing something.

It’s not insane. Violating the EULA has consequences, to think otherwise is simply foolish.

Well, then I am afraid you have your answer. Your account has been permanently closed for using third party software.
If you wish to appeal, you can do so via the link in the email to put in a ticket. The Hacks team will double check the logs to ensure that they did detect such software, and either uphold it or overturn it. The answer will be a form letter, but is not automate (that I know of yet).

No one raindrop think’s it’s the flood. Everyone hacking the game, in whatever way, diminishes it for the rest of us. All hacking like this should be met with permanent account closure for sure. Multiple offenses should be hardware bans.

Im glad it worked, I’ve been giving that advice forgetting hardware banning too but from what I’ve seen in random comments overwatch may do that.
I don’t know how it works but I could imagine another infraction or repeated enough it could be more targeted. So smarten up! 
I sure hope so! Just remember, Blizzard is watching… 
Here’s a couple of things you can use to build your own maphack… In your mind!

COD has nothing to do with Blizzard and D2 LOD bud.

If only all the others belly-aching could stand up and take it with humility like you.
