In my case i received a response from the support team in a short time explaining the problem and how to avoid it happening again, as described in the email bellow.
How to avoid restriction on Facebook and Instagram
The support team also told me to avoid getting restricted you must follow the community standards, and if you get restricted it can't be removed unless it's a mistake from Facebook or the limitation period has expired.
