All I did was reinstall the OS and now cannot verify wallet:

Device Limit Reached |Your wallet cannot be verified because you’ve reached the maximum verified device limit.9/23/2021

How can this be reset? I am only using Brave on one device?

Nothing you can do. The device limit is forced on us by Brave without any systems in place to remove old devices etc. There is a limit of 4 devices. Every time you reinstall your windows for example. you will add a new device.  
Apparently they are working on a solution. But nothing of it is heard from for a long time… There is alot of people who got locked out up verifying their wallets. All you can do is poking brave.

There will be a tool available to Brave team soon to solve this issue.

ok thanks…It just seems as though there should be a tool to register or deregister user devices.

Anyway it will be a nice break from the ads ) Or an opportunity to go back to Firefox 🙂 Thanks for the replies!

Yep. That is why I am “on a break” from Brave / Uphold.

When they get the train wreck sorted out, the BAT train back on trax. Then I may try again. I went nearly 6 months without a BAT for hundreds, upwards to maybe 1000 ads viewed and not one single BAT.

I posted a support tix, the whole deal with all the info they needed. Nada…

Then they ask me to do it again. Nada…

Train Wreck. Got rid of the remaining BAT I had. Using Firefox again. I still do Brave from time to time to see if the scam is fixed yet.?

Nope. Still playing the author device bullshizz game. With no way to delete 25+ uphold wallets. I upgrade, all my devices quite often. So BAT is a No Go for me.

And I will also believe it when I see it. But what I will not be seeing is another Brave Ad.
