if it was a legit policy hit before, I’d try the appeal first. sometimes they do fully clear it and performance is normal after, no obvious “shadow penalty” in the data.
that said, in my tests flagged accounts tend to get re-reviewed more often, especially early after reinstatement. not always, but enough to be annoying.
spinning up a new one can work, but only if everything is clean top to bottom, domain history, creatives, billing, etc. otherwise you risk linking issues and getting hit again.
personally I’d run both paths if possible, appeal the old one and prep a new account in parallel, then scale whichever stabilizes faster.
