It's probably not related to what you were doing when it happened (closing DMs). It's just that their ML batch job happened to run then, and aggregating your previous behaviours and network access patterns across the whole app and maybe other things it 'observed' about your use of your computer after you gave its client unmitigated access to everything on your PC (I digress), it decided based on some opaque trained model that you were a spambot.

I agree this (automated abuse detection lagged realtime, flagged some past behavior) is likely. I also suspect whatever else may be the case, the lack of detailed explanation is probably because whoever is fielding support simply doesn’t know (and may not be able to know) what was flagged.
