I used my Google phone number but I got banned after 4 hours. I don't want to use my actual phone number.

I just don't use any apps that require a phone number. Or reject a Protonmail email address for that matter.

protonmail itself requires you verify with a more reputable method if you want to use it to sign up for 3rd party services. It's annoying. Big tech has everyone by the balls ngl

Thanks for mentioning that, but I'm already aware. Even with that, I've encountered apps that will flat-out refuse to continue their sign-up processes without a Gmail email address or a Facebook account. That's when I just write those apps off as data-harvesting trash and move on.

if you wait 12ish hours before using it for anything you don't have to provide verification

No they don't lol. You just have to wait a set period of time from making your proton mail to signing up
