Players Being Banned for "Exploiting"

Summary

We are starting to get reports of our players having their Fortnite accounts be banned for “Exploiting” while playing our map.

I know the Creative XP cap system had adjustments today, is it possible that players are being flagged for illegal amounts of XP?

I also know there was an XP bug circulating around the community, is it possible our players are being swept up in false positives from a system trying to detect those exploits?

Just some thoughts, but it is confusing for our players as they think it is our map that is inducing the ban, bad optics.
