TikTok policy updates: 15 key tips to avoid throttling and improve account performance

Recently, when I was helping clients optimize their TikTok accounts, I found that many creators encountered this problem: although the content was of good quality, it was always inexplicably restricted. Last week, a client who was doing beauty tutorials came to me and asked: "Why did my video views suddenly drop from 100,000 to 500?" After investigation, it turned out that it had violated TikTok's latest updated community guidelines. Do you encounter this problem? In fact, this is a typical information search requirement.

Common reasons why TikTok algorithm limits traffic

According to the Hootsuite 2024 report, 85% of creators do not know why their content is restricted. The most common cases our team has handled recently are music copyright issues. A customer used a 15-second clip of a popular song. Although the length was within a reasonable range, the song had been marked by TikTok as "authorized use only."

Step 1: Check the background music in your video now. Before publishing, click the sound icon to check the copyright status. Only those with a green "Commercial Use" logo can be used safely.

Step 2: Check regularlyTikTok Music Library Update Announcement, especially the list of copyright changes released on the 15th of each month.

Small suggestion: Our team is accustomed to using it in editing softwareTikTok official recommended music library, to avoid the trouble of later replacement. If you need to test music adaptability across regions, stable IP proxy services can help you simulate access environments in different regions.

TikTok e-commerce policy compliance points

Last month, a home furnishing brand we serve suffered a setback. They demonstrated a product waterproof test during a live broadcast, only to be removed from the shelves due to "unverified performance claims." DataReportal 2025 data shows that the incidence of such violations among small and medium-sized businesses is as high as 37%.

Step 1: All product descriptions must be completely consistent with the details page. In particular, check key information such as size, material, and efficacy.

Step 2: UseTikTok Shop Seller CenterThe "Compliance Detection" tool can automatically scan product pages for risk points.

Tip: We found that the e-commerce conversion rate of accounts cultivated by natural fan growth services is 2-3 times higher than those with direct advertising, because the platform trusts accounts that grow organically.

TikTok Creator Fund Latest Rules

The Statista 2025 report states that the number of videos eligible for Creator Funds decreased by 23% year-on-year. We have a client who makes pet content. Although the playback volume reaches the standard, it is judged to be invalid due to "duplicate content".

Step 1: Make sure each video has an independent shooting scene. Even with the same subject, change the camera angle or add new elements.

Step 2: Log in weeklyTikTok Creator PortalCheck eligibility status, paying special attention to the "Originality Rating" section.

Tip 2: It is recommended that the first 5 videos of a new account be released at different times, and use TikTok’s built-in “audience active time” analysis function to find the best window period.

Tip 3: Use an independent IP environment to manage multiple accounts. Our tests found that the traffic of accounts under the same network will affect each other.

Tip 4: Regularly clean up fans with zero interaction. Such accounts may be marked as robots by the system, which will lower the account weight.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ Q1: What should I do if TikTok misjudges the flow limit? A1: We will pass firstAppeal formSubmit evidence and publish a test video using the new IP to confirm the current limit range. Complex cases may require technical custom consultation to design a response.

One of our clients went through a system cleanup and used a natural fan growth strategy to rebuild the credibility of his account, and was successfully unblocked 3 weeks later.
