This may be too paranoid, but if your mobile IP is persistent and phone was compromised and is serving as a proxy for bots then it could explain why your IP fell out of favor

You don't get your own external IP with the phone, it's shared, like NAT.

I get a different IPv4 and IPv6 address every time I toggle airplane mode on and off.

Externally routable IPv4, or just a different between-a-cgnat address?
