Why has my attacking been disabled and why am I receiving, "You have been playing for too long and your villagers need to rest for a few minutes"? [duplicate]

I was searching for a good base to attack this morning and I received two messages. The first message prompted when I clicked to search for a new base, "Your attacking has been disabled" and then I was kicked from the game.

Now I am receiving a message that says, "You have been playing for too long and your villagers need to rest for a few minutes."

I spoke with a few other people I play clash of clans with and they said they could attack (not a maintenance window).

Why did I get these messages?

A recent update rebalanced the Personal Break system, which is intended to prevent players from staying online and never being vulnerable to attack requires you to log off for a while every so often. The exact breakdown of times was in a link from the update news, I'll see if I can find it.

The new system is a bit more forgiving of casual players, allowing you to attack from behind your Shield without forfeiting the entire Shield time, plus giving you a Guard time after your Shield breaks where you can't be attacked but can attack freely. However, Shields are harder to earn (TH destruction doesn't automatically grant a shield now). The time you can remain online non-stop was reduced as well, although the window between when you log off and when you can be attacked was slightly expanded.
