Hopefully this gets cleared up real soon. I kind of feel like the process might be pushing people to upgrade to premium phone support to regain access to their business, but maybe I'm being pessimistic.

The first time was a mistake on their part when they switched plan tiers and our payment was not processed correctly, they fixed it entirely on their end and did not admit to the problem in the slightest. After this event we made sure to have an intermediate queue on our end in order not to have emails sent into oblivion.
The second time one of our users mass reported a bunch of old emails at once which triggered something that instantly blocked us. Even if we have very low reporting in general (no marketing emails) a single user was able to effectively kill sending of emails to all other users without any forewarning.
After that we forced ourselves out of the platform. When we look for a transactional email sending service, we expect at least an effort on the service to keep the api working while we resolve any issues that arise in a timely manner.
Got account unlocked after six hours of downtime though, but I changed email provider since then.
I do wish they would let you choose the region where the server is located though, like Mailgun does.
As a B2B SaaS, our opportunity cost for support (and potential for lost goodwill) due to failed notifications is high, and switching to Postmark noticeably moved the needle. Time is our most valuable and scarce resource, and peer recommendation is our primary marketing device, so the price increment for switching to Postmark is easily justified. Their deliverability and support are stellar compared to Sendgrid, Mailgun, and SES.
Two thumbs up

It seems they do that on a TLD basis, for example if you add the domain "spammer.xyz", it will probably lock your account because ".xyz" TLD is considered risky.
They support always fix the problem, but we're always locked a few hours, this is super annoying.
You can use gsuite programmatically for easy inbox management with the Gmail API.
You can hire a non technical person to manage your inbox without having to code as much to connect with your systems.
If you have problems with G suite, you are a paying customer and you get support from Google. There's a phone number you can call and get your problems solved.
Detect and block phishing emails that are forwarded through your service. Right now, I get several messages forwarded per day from "Sam at Mailgun" (actually a variety of external senders) trying to get me to log in to review various (nonexistent) problems with my account.
I thought mailgun was for delivering emails? How/why are they your MX?
Fortunately we were able to get it resolved quickly
