I had it in aeroplane mode with only bluetooth and NFC on, no wifi, but after I had played arms (Through Pokemon Quest) I went to the album to check out some screenshots i had took in game, then my switch crashed with the "Hold the power button for 12 seconds" thing. Now I don't want to take it out of aeroplane mode in case I get banned. So what should I do?

They can ban you for everything. You can clear logs with Hekate but it's not safe.
You can restore a nand backup or factory reset your switch. (but it's not safe too lol)

Pull the plug in your router and reboot. No router no wifi. No wifi no Nintendo snooping.
no wifi = no youtube/gbatemp/email/messaging friends

:(

you can't live 30 seconds without youtube + gbatemp + email + messaging?
i can live without it for 30 seconds, i thought @darkflame808 meant forever (or atleast until i get rid of my switch)

Dont fuck around with layeredFS if you fear a ban. At that Point you already fucked up. Nothing to do against it.
why didn't i think of this earlier

He meant until you can get it back on aeroplane and figure out a way to wipe your logs then.

Since your console will probably send information to Nintendo when disabling airplane mode, I can only recommend you to keep your switch offline until we find a better way to clear the error logs. As already mentioned, hekate might not be enough.

If you want to use LayeredFS now (not wait for a new free backup loader) then I advice you stay offline until a proper way to stop sending (all) logs to Nintendo is found.
You shouldn't really bother with games updates/dlcs and stuff if you plan on using the Switch for active online services. At this point, patience is key as some are rushing and getting banned...for us...

I've had plenty of errors with layeredFS and I still haven't gotten banned when going online in Horizon... I'm not sure what everyone is worrying about.
Many people have already reported being banned using LayeredFS. Only because you haven't been banned yet, doesn't mean that you won't be banned in a banwave later on.

You can clear logs with the latest hekate payload, not sure if that will help though
