The cheating is obvious. Delays on easy moves. Deliberate bad moves and loses. Suddenly change of style when time is low. You will be fi e if playing as a human. I wish the cheating algorithm was better.
I feel like I'm going to be banned.

I am also experiencing that, but I would not be worried because I had a streak of probably 3 win streks in a row with each win streak having approximately 3 wins(I am under rated, I know) a while back and you can check my games. I love my couple games from last week.
3 wins in a row is not that much lil bro

I had 3 recent games in a row where I was 95-100 accuracy and I was worried about this.
One was a common opening trap I was surprised they fell for, the other one played exactly into one of the few lines I had studied against the English and I would bet most English players at my level are not used to someone being prepared against it because they literally played the line move for move to around move 12. The third one was just a really clean win, no opening tricks, but they also made it easy for me in my best opening after they played an early inaccuracy I know how to punish
Was a bit worried having 3 games of almost 100 accuracy in a row, but nothing happened. I also played an awful game on the 4th one. But sometimes a game works out where most of the intuitive/obvious moves are the great/best/excellent moves, and it becomes easy to get high accuracy. Especially with opening traps you know and the opponent doesn't
I think a lot more goes into it than just wins and high accuracy

I had a game like that yesterday... seemed like obvious cheating. He started out just "okay", made several blunders and mistakes in the middle game, then, of his last eight moves, five were great and one was "brilliant"... for the win. Ugh.

for the past few days, I've been in my absolute prime. I didn't lose a single game in 2 whole days, and I've been winning them with accuracy always above 80%. 0 blunders, less than 3 mistakes. All I'm saying is what if the chess.com mods see, and they just ban me. If there is a way to fix this, please tell me. Thank you,

boo hoo

Not sure if that really says anything. My "accuracy" is higher on games that I win, and lower on games that I lose.
You could just be lucking out on having dumb opponents, for example.

Yes. I read that they use accuracy and winning streaks to decide what might need further study but neither is used for making the final call. They look at all your recent games then look for patterns and anomalies, mostly of the kind a human could never spot, and see if anything, often many things, cannot be explained without an assumption of cheating.

An aside (and, right, in before the lock), I almost never accept rematch requests after a win. It's not often, but it does happen, that in the second game my opponent is now actually Stockfish.
If you are gonna be banned,......apply for State & Federal benefits.

This is the problem with all this cheating nowadays. The paranoia does more damage than the cheating itself. People start feeling guilty because they play well.
Don't let it control you. Trust the anti cheating measures. And remember that everyone lies when they get caught.
If you're not cheating then you've got nothing to worry about.
