Does no violation mean it will clear?

No. It only means no policy is listed. Meta decides.

Can a payment problem cause this?

Yes. A failed or flagged payment can restrict an account.

Ad account restricted but Account Quality shows no policy violation

A restriction can appear without a listed policy violation. Common reasons are a payment or verification requirement, a security check or an automatic risk signal. Look at Business Support Home as well as Account Quality, and do not guess a rule.

Why the two screens can differ

Account Quality focuses on policy issues. Restrictions for payment, identity or security may show in Business Support Home or in billing instead.

Where to look

Business Support Home, under the affected asset.
Billing and payments settings for failed payments.
Security notices on each admin profile.
Email and notifications sent to admins.

Next step

If nothing explains it, request the review once, with a short factual note. Say the account has no listed violation and describe what you checked.
