2.Auxiliary verification issues: According to user feedback data, about 62% of activation failures are related to auxiliary verification, including:
| Question type | Proportion | Typical performance |
|---|---|---|
| Auxiliary account does not meet the requirements | 38% | Account registration time is less than 6 months |
| Auxiliary operation timeout | 24% | Verification not completed within 10 minutes |
| The number of assists exceeds the limit | 18% | Assisted more than 3 times in the month |
| other reasons | 20% | Network problems etc. |
3.Mobile phone number association issues: Data shows that the activation failure rate using virtual operator number segments (such as 170/171) is as high as 73%, which is much higher than traditional operator number segments.
4.System maintenance period: WeChat usually performs system maintenance between 1:00 and 4:00 in the morning, and the activation failure rate increases significantly during this period.
5.Device fingerprinting: The newly upgraded risk control system will record device characteristics, and frequent registration of different accounts with the same device may trigger restrictions.
