TikTok Account Health Rating (AHR & CHR) Explained — 2026 Guide
TikTok replaced violation points with two new systems in 2026: Account Health Rating (AHR) for sellers and Creator Health Rating (CHR) for affiliates. Both use a 0–1,000 scale. Here's what changed and how to protect your score.
It's a composite, not a single number
Violation points are one input. Return/refund rates, customer complaints, shipping performance (for sellers), and content-quality signals all feed into the same overall standing.
Why low health hurts even without a ban
- Reduced reach in the recommendation algorithm before any formal action is taken.
- Lower priority in Shop search and product placement.
- Slower payout processing and lower commission caps on some programs.
What actually moves the score
Consistent, violation-free posting over time recovers health faster than a single "good" viral video. The system weights pattern over any one data point.
Protect it at the script level
Since violation points are the input you have the most direct control over, catching risky phrasing before you post is the highest-leverage way to protect your score.
