Two week ban, no chat log

Henlo, never thought I'd be posting here but hopefully I can have someone clear something up for me.

As a preface, I have a permanently banned (rightfully so) account, so I know how the system works (what gets you banned and the steps before 2 weeks)

My last game started at about 5:10am (QLD time) ended at 5:50ish, which at that time I logged out and headed for bed. I didn't get an instant reform notice in the entire time I've played.

So to my surprise, I try to log in now and all I get is a message saying I'm banned til Oct 23rd. If it was an in game toxicity ban, I would've had to go through 10 game chat ban and a 25 game chat ban, neither of which this account has served.

I've checked my email, and I received a vague email stating: "Greetings spankthefox,

For my final point of reference - I can still log into my permanently banned account. It will just show my chat log though and say I've been permabanned. However with this account, I can't get past the loading screen.

What is going on?

More than likely this wasn't a toxicity ban but either a lock due to suspicious activity or a chargeback, that was just incorrectly placed for only this year. Usually they place those for 100+ years, but they may have forgotten to change the year this time.

It could also be a manually placed two week ban for behaviors that are designed to skirt the detection systems.

Your best bet is to contact Riot support and ask them what's going on.

The exact same thing has happened to me, just wondering how long it will take riot to have a look at the ban because i am 100% sure i have done nothing wrong.
