CS:GO cooldown times can vary! For first-time offenders, it's usually just 30 minutes. If you've been a naughty player more frequently, the cooldown increases to 2 hours, then escalates to 24 hours, and if you're really pushing your luck, you get a full week vacation from competitive matches. It's Valve's way of saying, 'Take a break, think about what you've done.'

Cooldown? Just enough to grab a snack or plot your sweet revenge in casual mode. First time is 30 mins, easy.

Got a 2-hour cooldown just when I was getting the hang of the game. Felt like being grounded for something my cat did. The system needs a chill pill.

Trust me, get a week-long cooldown once, and it'll feel like forever. I learned to play it cool after sitting out for what felt like an eternity. Not fun.
