A first violation usually brings a warning training can clear after 90 days; 3 strikes in 90 days may end a channel
For a first violation of the Community Guidelines, a creator will likely get a warning with no penalty to the channel. The creator can take a policy training so the warning expires after 90 days, counted from when the training is completed, not when the warning was issued. If the same policy is violated within that 90-day window, the warning may not expire and the channel may get a strike. Violating a different policy after completing training brings another warning. Three strikes within 90 days may lead to the channel being terminated. A single case of severe abuse can lead to termination without this sequence.

If this is your first time violating our Community Guidelines, you'll likely get a warning with no penalty to your channel.
You will have the option to take a policy training to allow the warning to expire after 90 days.
The 90 day period starts from when the training is completed, not when the warning is issued.
However, if the same policy is violated within that 90 day window, the warning may not expire and your channel may be given a strike.
If you violate a different policy after completing the training, you will get another warning.
If you get 3 strikes within 90 days, your channel may be terminated.
Qualifications & exceptions
The first-violation warning is "likely", not guaranteed.
The 90-day expiry runs from training completion.
Termination after three strikes is discretionary ("may").
Severe abuse or a channel dedicated to violations can be terminated after a single case.

YouTube may terminate for repeated violations, one case of severe abuse, or a channel dedicated to violations
YouTube may terminate a channel or account for repeated violations of the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. It may also terminate after a single case of severe abuse, or when the channel is dedicated to a policy violation. YouTube may also stop repeat offenders from taking policy trainings in the future, which removes the option to let warnings expire.
