Uploaded video that contains third-party advertising, such as pre-roll video ads, sponsor bumpers or sponsorship graphics, without X's prior consent.

How to fix it
Cut ad bumpers, pre-rolls and sponsor slates before posting to X.
Good to know
Common when repurposing YouTube or podcast edits: 'This video is sponsored by...' slates, ad breaks, sponsor logos on screen. A host-read mention is a paid partnership (“Sponsored post without the Paid Partnership label”) rather than this rule.
