What X’s report says

What it means

Account detected by automated systems as likely to post spam.

Effect on visibility

The account’s posts are hidden from recommendations to non-followers.

What X’s code adds

Your posts are dropped from For You, followers included, and from the video feed. Followers still see them in Following (author_rules.rs).
Most versions expire after 30 days, sometimes with a captcha first. They come from spam models, including one named “llm_slop_user” for AI-slop accounts.
Pinning a post with a link to a low-quality or bad site sets it for 1 week. Following people while that pin is up does too.

Read from X’s open-source code. X’s live settings can differ.

What to do

Change behavior before content: stop bulk or copy-paste replies, mass follows and unfollows, engagement pods and automation that acts for you. Unpin any post with a sketchy link. Most versions expire after 30 days, so post normally and check next month’s report.

Not the same as SPAM_HIGH_RECALL (post label). The report shows the two in different sections, so check which one you have.
