Clarification about these two flags and the ban trigger

Apparently, I've been banned from flagging after I flagged these two non-answers + one answer:

  • This one talking entirely about Android Studio, while the question was about how to run the Android AVD Manager (different software) and Android Studio was only briefly mentioned by the OP in a previews review of the question

  • This one whose meaning basically reduces to Please run free and post the output which is clearly a "request for clarification" as mentioned in the standard not-an-answer comment, plus other "some patches not solutions" (citing the author literally)

  • A third one which was admittedly an oversight of mine

I already checked How long will I be flag banned for? which I think answers one of my concerns (assuming that this duration is the same for every user), however I still have some doubts:

  • How many declined flags are required to trigger such a ban? Here I see 1 flag declined for a good reason and 2 which are honestly quite disputable
  • Seriously, why was the first one declined? I can see how some people might decline a flag on a very low quality answer like the second one, but the first does not answer the question
