[2020] Permanently Banned

I am not very good at Siege but I enjoy playing it, I am nowhere near good enough to even be suspected of cheating. I just reinstalled the game not even a week ago, I play for 2-3 days try to login today and it says I have been permanently banned. Can someone please help me with this situation?

I have already posted a ticket (which is still open, response pending, it's fine I can wait), but I feel like I should mention this publicly once again, because I see situations very similar to mine popping up all over Steam discussions/Reddits and forums over the last 24 hours.

I haven't played R6 for weeks. And prior to the couple casual matches a few weeks ago that all happened on the same day, I haven't played the game for months.
Yesterday, I open up Steam and I am greeted by a message telling me I received a Game Ban for Rainbow 6 Siege.
Game Bans behave similarly to VAC bans, as they get displayed on your Steam profile. The difference here is, Valve doesn't issue Game Bans, the individual game developers do. They are also the ones who can revert them.

Anyway, I was absolutely bewildered, so I checked my Ubisoft mails and also my UPlay account because I was sure I would find further info there, but, nothing. I got slapped with a Game Ban on Steam and that's it. No Mail from Ubisoft and most importantly, my UPlay Account that is actually used to play R6, WAS NOT BANNED! I did log into it and managed to queue for a game! No notification, no red banner, nothing. Perfect standing.

So I wrote a ticket, and a couple hours later I got a mail from Ubi. Was it a response to my ticket? Nope! I got a mail notifying me that now, many hours after my Steam ban, my UPlay account was banned for 15 days for Cheating. Ignoring the extremely perplexing decision to ban an alleged cheater for a mere 15 days instead of permanently, why did it take 5 hours after my Steam Game Ban to take effect? Furthermore, I am under the impression that Steam Game Bans are permanent, and the 15 day period obviously isn't, so did Ubisoft just brand my Steam Account permanently during this debacle?

I would really like this to be resolved, and I would especially love the Game Ban from my Steam page to disappear. I understand that many other people were hit with the exact same ban behavior as me in the last 24 hours, most of them haven't touched the game for weeks/months just like me.

So I'm not sure what exactly happened but I know ubisoft support won't do anything about it, so I continue to BattleEye services to request an appeal for my ban and realize all my friends are saying they lost A LOT of MMR because we played ranked together and I was considered a cheated so they lost a lot of MMR, some lost 500, others lost 800. It's devastating to say the least as this was gonna be our last Rainbow Six: Siege season. But of course Ubisoft in someway or another had to ruin it.
If you've had a similar experience let me know. It's possible maybe something on my computer caused it? But I only use an Overlay so I don't see how it would.
