The CS:GO competitive cooldown is pretty straightforward. If you leave a match early, teamkill, or get reported for toxic behavior, you'll get a temporary ban from competitive matches. It starts at 30 minutes for the first offense and can go up to 7 days if you keep breaking the rules. It's like the game's way of putting you in a timeout corner to think about what you've done.

Cooldowns in CS:GO are basically Valve's way of saying 'chill out, dude'. If you mess up, like quitting a game or shooting teammates, you'll get hit with a cooldown that stops you from jumping into another competitive game right away. Keep messing up, and those cooldowns get longer real quick.

Not true that it's always fair. Sometimes you get cooldowns for silly reasons like internet issues. But yeah, mostly it's for quitting or being a troll.
