3 copyright strikes and my channel is just gone, mostly from Content ID false matches

Had a gaming channel for about 4 years, just under 90k subs. Got hit with three copyright strikes over about two months, all from Content ID claims on background music in stream clips that I actually had a license for through my streaming software’s audio library. Disputed each one individually with the license proof attached. Two disputes just sat there for weeks with no response, then the third strike hit and the channel got terminated automatically once it hit three.

Tried appealing through the support chat and it’s very clearly a bot, it kept repeating the same lines about “policy compliance” no matter what I typed. Never got connected to an actual person.

Started looking into that new channel request thing they rolled out, where you can apply for a new channel after being terminated. Except turns out copyright terminations aren’t even eligible for that program, so that’s not an option either.

Anyone had luck disputing Content ID claims that turned into strikes before they stacked up? At this point I don’t even know if the license documentation ever got looked at by anyone.
