I’ve read it, too, and I do believe this is true. The problem is that there are anti-fraud measures in place, and they could be tripped.
If a Creator trips the anti-fraud system *with self-tipping - and it appears to happen more often than not - they will have to sort it out with Brave to get everything running smoothly again, and this process can take time. It kind of comes down to the question of, are you all right to deal with some inconvenience/ hassle from time to time, or would you rather not?
This is a confusing issue for some, understandably so. Some Creators don’t seem to be aware that self-tipping in a system with keen anti-fraud detection could get you flagged even if everything’s above the board - if you are aware (and have read around), then you should be good to go.
Either way, Creator payout process is finished and you can contact Support about the issue now. You’ll find out if it was just some bug, a delay due to the payout process, or if anti-fraud was accidentally tripped - either way I think you’ll get it smoothed out. Good luck!
