Hello.
I’m unable to join a Family Sharing group because the system says I have already changed family groups twice this year and I need to wait 106 days.
I left the previous family groups, but now I really need to join a new one.
Could you please review my case and let me know if it’s possible to remove or override this restriction?

Thank you.

Interpret these as you wish but Apple sound pretty firm about this:

Bonjour daria115,
Non, impossible d’aller au-delà de cette limite. Le partage familial est pensé comme l’équivalent numérique d’une vraie famille. Et concrètement, il est peu probable qu’une personne change de famille plus de deux fois par an.
La restriction est surtout là pour éviter les abus, notamment les “swaps” de famille à répétition dans le seul but de profiter du partage d’apps ou d’abonnements de manière trop intensive.
Bonne journée !
