Why do I get a temporary cooldown in CS:GO?

Ah, the infamous temporary cooldown in CS:GO is basically the game's way of saying, 'Take a breather, will ya?' It usually pops up for new players after winning a couple of matches to prevent them from ranking up too quickly. It's like Valve's attempt to make sure you're not a smurf or cheater trying to game the system. After a 21-hour cooldown, you can jump back in. Just enough time to grab some snacks, rewatch your favorite action movie, or, dare I say, go outside?

If you've been slapped with a temporary cooldown in CS:GO, it's because you've either won too many matches as a newbie or you've just finished your placement matches. Valve uses this cooldown to calibrate your skill level correctly. Think of it as a necessary evil to keep the game competitive and fun.
