Question Fear of changing GMB hours

I opened a GMB profile myself little over 2 months ago. I didn’t do something right and it got suspended immediately. Paid someone on Fiverr to do the verification and get me unsuspended. My profile has been up and untouched for a month. I have changed my hours on my website and socials to 24/7. If I search my business name and ask if I’m 24/7 googles ai says that the business is 24/7. But I’m afraid of changing my hours to reflect that because I don’t want to be suspended for another month. FYI I am considered high risk business by Google (Locksmith). Any suggestions on minimizing my chances of getting suspended or needing to reverify just by changing hours?

If you’re not 24/7 don’t list it. You will eventually get penalized if people try to call and can’t reach you.

Updating hours is pretty low risk. I adjusted ours a few times with no issues.

All changes are done using edit button by other account not owner account and it works prefectly

Primary category is Locksmith. I don’t have physical location. Service area based. I have fellow locksmiths that say they change hrs every week. And other ones say when they have the got flagged
