Suraj Agarwal in JioHotstar shows error NM-1001_429 (“Unusual activity detected”)

Bhai, I’m facing error too (PB_IOS_NM-4290). Completely ruined the match for me today! 🤦‍♂️

Don’t even bother reaching out to Jio customer support, it’s a total waste of time and energy. You’ll just get the same copypasta bot replies. The actual technical reason behind all these recent errors is that JioHotstar’s backend freaks out if it can’t load ads. It can’t differentiate between a VPN or a basic adblocker extension, so it just bans the account.

You basically have only two options now:

  1. Give in and live with the ads. Turn off your adblocker/VPN (you might still have to wait like 24 hours for the shadowban to lift).
  2. Cancel the subscription and just take the high seas route (FMHY FTW).
