Capital One OA, rejected after 2.5 out of 4

Result: Rejected Number of Rounds: 1 CodeSignal OA. 70 minutes, 4 questions, camera and mic on the whole time, and they made me upload an ID before it even started. Q1: count triplets where first and last char match, case insensitive. LC easy, knocked it out in a few minutes. Q2: split the array into two groups based on how many elements are greater than each one, with ties going to the shorter group. Took me a while to get the tiebreak logic right. Q3: matrix commands, reverseRow, swap, rotate...

is the 6 month cooldown real or just something people assume

seems real, heard the same number from a few others who reapplied too early and got auto rejected

2.5 out of 4 sounds rough but honestly the tiebreak on Q2 got a lot of people I think

the id upload thing caught me off guard too, wasn't expecting that for an OA
