Cooldowns are like the game's way of putting you in the naughty corner. If you leave matches too often, shoot your teammates (watch where you're aiming!), or act like a keyboard warrior in chat, CS:GO will give you a timeout to think about what you've done.

It's simple: follow the rules, play nice, and you won't get cooldowns. People overcomplicate it, but really, just play the game as it's meant to be played.

The most common reason for a temporary cooldown in CS:GO is when you're new to the competitive mode. Valve implements this to calibrate your skill level and ensure fair matchmaking. It's kinda like the game's way of saying, 'Let's take it slow!' Additionally, cooldowns can happen if you leave matches early, get reported for inappropriate behavior, or if the system detects any cheating shenanigans.
