I stopped using TeamViewer after getting hit with the COMMERCIAL USE DETECTED popup multiple times. I did exactly two things with it:

- For a few days, I maintained a connection between my personal Linux desktop and my personal Windows sidearm, because I was using both simultaneously and didn't want to shift back and forth on my desk every 2 minutes.

- Every now and then, connected to my mom's personal laptop, to reset her buggy Bluetooth headset.

That's it. Their heuristics decided I'm a commercial user. I'm guessing it's the first point that tripped them - keeping a connection mostly idle for half a day is probably not a typical thing.
