I'm sure I have been banned but i'm worried it's my account so are banned or just console.
Here it's error Code: 2124-4508 and message "The use of online services on this console is currently restricted by Nintendo"
What does it mean? It's it only console so are banned or it's my account banned?
The console is banned. Just try to login into your account on Nintendo‘s website but usually accounts don’t get banned, at least I never heard of one.

I'm not sure it's hard to say, since I just discovered error code and message when I shall link account after I factory reset it and format SD card.
Since I had problem with Switch before i used Haku33 and then factory reset it.

So which I have plans to buy new Nintendo Switch in future I can link my account on new Switch?

Above comments are correct about unlinking. However, linking your account to another Switch will work fine as your account itself has not been jeopardized. It will probably acknowledge this clean console as a secondary system if you haven't unlinked on your banned switch, which will prompt the "checking if title can be played"-type message every time you launch something. If so, you can set the clean console as your primary system on Nintendo's website once a year. No more annoying message.

Your account also hasn't been wiped clean. If you had save backups for other games, you can restore them. Account info is all the same. I've discovered this from first-hand experience.

It’s banned. You can’t officially link an account to this console anymore but there are unofficial methods out there that can link an account offline.

Hi guys.. so I just bought a new nintendo switch with SX OS chip already installed.. I just wanna ask, is there still have any risk of being banned if we play online using original FW boot? Is nintendo still can detect my .XCI and .NSP games installed on my microSD? (I only connect to internet while using OFW boot)
Thank you for your answer.. :)

The NAND needs to be clean. OFW is sysnand, if you ran NSP on sysnand you have the chance of getting ban.
