TikTok Shop's Policy Pulse for August 2026 describes consequences under its Prohibited Behavior Policy: anchor removal, reduced promotion, a 60-day commission freeze and a deduction of 24 points from the creator health rating (CHR). The page lists consequences, not a catalogue of triggers, so the useful step is a pre-upload check built from the content rules that TikTok publishes separately.

Consequences listed, and where the rules live

The Content Policy (updated 09/25/2026) holds the content rules; the Pulse holds the consequences. Do not read the table as saying which behavior leads to which penalty.

A pre-upload gate

A gate is cheap compared with a 60-day freeze. For each clip, run three checks and keep the result with the file. First, probe it with video inspect (frames: false) and compare length and format with what you intend to upload. Second, pull stills and review them against the Content Policy list: no changed scale, color or bundle quantity, no expired prices. Third, read the transcript for claims.

curl -X POST https://api.sume.com/v1/video-inspect \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SUME_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: gate-001" \
  -d '{"video_url":"https://media.sume.com/artifacts/artf_demo/clip.mp4","transcribe":true,"frames":{"fps":0.5}}'

Keep the record

Name the checker and the date in your file log. If a clip fails, fix the cause at the source: reburn captions from a clean master with video captions, or cut with video trim. The sibling posts cover each rule in depth.
