Why new Promo accounts are getting banned - Correct me if I'm wrong please Martin

So I think I have worked out why some fresh accounts are being banned/suspended.
Ok I set the Promo to 75 follows 150 likes
But I set daily increments to start at 1 to 100 for follows and likes.
So this is what I have observed while watching the logs.
The program batters the API for 30 mins looking for 75 follows and 150 likes.
Then adheres to the daily limits and does 1 follow and 1 like for the account.
So instead of checking the daily increment / limit and then doing that many actions it does it backwards - finding the promo action value in follows and likes and then doing the daily / increment limit actions.
And I have tested this :
I set up a promo with 3 follow and 3 likes
Set the daily increment to start at 1
It did the whole process in about 4 mins.
If I set the same promo to 100 then - program runs for 35 mins to do 1 follow and 1 like.
So my conclusion is / right or wrong , that the promo is getting new accounts banned , not because its doing to many "actions", but because its making a huge amount of totally unnecessary API calls that's flagging it as a bot?
