I assume that the misleading message is because of my assumption "user is banned somehow".

And therefor the message should rather be something like

... - no more edits are allowed

(pick whatever fits to replace the '... -' suffix I suggested here).

Maybe add some extra indication like "because your userid has been banned" (or some variation of that). Better still: consider these refinements:

1. include the applicable values for rejects and approvals indicators mentioned in one of the answers in Too many of your edits were rejected, try again in 7 days (which appears to be about questions and answers, not tags). In there it says:

When deciding on whether we should ban or not, we now look at your last 7 days of activity. If (rejects - (approvals / 3)) >= 5, you will be auto-banned.

2. try to rework the (apparent) hardcoded value of "7" (in "7 days") in actual days left, similar to what is suggested in Change message "Too many of your edits were rejected, try again in 7 days." to actual days (which appears to be about questions and answers, not tags). That could also partially address the feature request about Why is the ban for too many rejected edits so lengthy? ... Because in the given scenario where the message was shown after 2 days, it would have been 5 days ... (7-2=5 ...).

I'm assuming that the misleading message is because of my assumption in my scenario (user is banned somehow).
