There is no problem when running single bot.

Bot just moves around aimlessly.

Are you sure it's a soft ban? I got IP banned for about half an hour yesterday when running 4 bots. Pretty sure you can run one or two bots per IP.

[tcchiu0]

After running 2 bots for about 5-10 min, both fail to work.
Bot resumes normally after ~1hr
I am not sure if it is related to the device ID in the request message as related device info is configurable in C# API (Pokemon-Go-Rocket-API). This may enable multibot even if using single IP.

Boyfriend and I usually play on two different computers, one account each with no problems, now if we run both accounts at the same time we get banned.

I ran 2 bots for about 4 hours straight today and while I had an error pop it wasnt from a soft ban. I think it had to do with a perfect iv pokemon(seen a similar error on another issue and they were told it had to do with a perfect iv not registering properly). I just restarted them and away they went.

I used to run six to seven at a time until the update to latest .33 I think it is version. You cannot have more than two accounts on the same IP in my experience. I've run one and two bots no problems. Three or more you will get hit with spinning stop need to take a rest (softban). It's usually immediate but not permanent.
