To play online, purchase games, or update games I’d boot into the stock firmware. NEVER play online or update software while using custom firmware to prevent getting account banned.

This ban will supposedly ONLY affect the console (so playing on my account with a legitimate console would still work fine), but this article as of February 2020 claims the ban IS at the account level meaning I would need to start a NEW Nintendo account and repurchase all my games. If I AM super banned, it will prevent the console from downloading firmware updates, game updates, reinstalling purchased games, and using the e-shop in general (all new games would need to be pirated, although paying for them in the eshop online could provide proof of purchase legally). Key point in this reddit post was to prevent getting “super banned” from Nintendo anytime homebrew is launched or installed keep off the internet by being in “Flight Mode” or prevent connecting to Nintendo servers by not playing online games or downloading updates.
