Valve has stated that they will be taking stricter measures against players who use input automation methods such as null scripts and Snap Tap features. However, many players have reported being kicked from matches even when they have not utilized any SOCD techniques.
After Razer added Snap Tap to its Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards, Valve made the choice to remove players who utilized input automation on official servers.
Despite the rule change, players are still experiencing being kicked from matches while using regular strafing and jiggle peeking techniques.

The results obtained from one kick were not due to input automation, but rather were a result of network instability.
The findings indicate that Valve’s input automation approach seems to be functioning as planned, despite some users on social media arguing against it.
According to one user statement, older keyboards without special features are reportedly being kicked from matches. The user expressed frustration, stating that they were using a Keychron K3 keyboard with no input automation tools and were still kicked from a casual game after three rounds. They suggested that the settings may need to be adjusted.
Loopholes are already being found
Although Jump-throw binds have been impacted in Counter-Strike 2, this popular technique is no longer permitted on official Valve servers. Nevertheless, players have already discovered ways to circumvent the recent update.
