If you're on an unpatched switch you can safely downgrade to 11.01 or 11.0 as no fuses are burnt when upgrading to 12.0.
I found a tutorial online but it just looked too long and risky. I should probably wait like a week, all for some Walking Dead...

Once again, the problem is not that you missclicked on the update button, but it's that your Switch was able to check online for an update and Nintendo servers responded. Unless you guys know perfectly what you do, you are just playing with Nintendo, and you will loose when they'll BAN your console.

There are a lot of solutions to protect your console while using CFW, just pick one up :
- 90DNS
- PRODINFO partition blanking
- Hiding PRODINFO data with Exsophère setting
- Blocking Nintendo's DNS from hosts.txt file in Atmosphère
- Staying on AIRPLAINE mode
...

Not only it will keep you from gettin "accidental updates" but you will also be free to restore your Switch as new the day you won't need it anymore, or if someday you'll want to play online.

Anyways you should wait for AMS to be updated, it wont take long thanks to SciresM once again.

Just embrace the ban. You are pirating already.
Get another switch for Offcial stuff.

I'm sitting here right now wondering if people have ever heard of 90DNS....
90DNS makes download speeds slower for an app I probably shouldn't mention here

Never had any problems with the downloads.

Do you have a link for a guide?
Read this before you downgrade. Wait for an update from Atmosphère before you do a mess with your console.

Yes I read a guide for the downgrade. Too risky and complicate.
I will wait for the Atmosphere update for OFW 12.0.0 which should come within next week anyway.

On that Switch I was on 11.0.0 with Atmosphere and SXOS (too many issues with DLC and updates of several games).
I was sure I was going to update to 11.0.1... :(
