I’ve run into a bit of a snag with my PSN account. I just got hit with a suspension for the second time and was greeted by the infamous NP-44953-5 error code. According to the notification, they’ve sent me an email with more details, but my inbox is empty. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you resolve it, and do you have any idea how long this suspension might last?

Hey! Sorry to hear about the situation…unless you were banned for a good reason. The NP-44953-5 error code indeed indicates a suspension from accessing the PlayStation Network, usually due to a breach of their terms of service. If you haven’t received an email in your primary inbox, I’d suggest checking your spam or junk mail folder, as these automated emails can sometimes be misfiltered. If there’s still no sign of it, you may want to ensure that the email linked to your PSN account is correct and up-to-date. As for the suspension length, it can vary. Minor offenses might see a suspension from a few days up to a week, while more severe breaches could lead to longer bans. The best course of action is to get in touch with PlayStation Support directly for the most accurate information regarding your account’s status and the suspension’s duration. They’re pretty helpful and should provide you with the next steps to resolve any issues. Best of luck, and I hope you’re back gaming soon!
