Account shown online on profile, but offline on the listings

[Bheem]

Hi,

 

I have an alternate account on which I am running a bot that I created. My problem is that the account is being displayed online when I open the bot's profile but on all its listings it is shown as offline. I am attaching a screenshot of the same. Can anyone please tell me what might be the reason for it and how to fix it?

 

Regards,

Bheem

Perhaps it's online on Steam, but offline on bp.tf?

Yeah thats the case. I thought backpack.tf shows online if you are online on  steam only. Thanks for the info.

Also, can I send heartbeats without using backpack.tf-automatic from my bot?

 

According to Doctor McKay (https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamBot/comments/3zu53f/i_made_a_nodejs_module_to_interact_with/)

 

 

 

If you're running something that isn't Automatic which auto-accepts offers matching backpack.tf listings then you're fine, otherwise you're liable to get banned.

 

 

My bot auto accepts offers matching the listings. So I can use heartbeats, right?
