I did the same thing (also wanting to create a work account) with a similar result. Luckily it was the new account that got banned instead of the old one.

I hadn't added the phone number to my old account and when I later wanted to do so I was informed it could only be assigned to one.

So I removed the number from the new account, which immediately got banned, and then added it to my old account without a problem.

Something about "new account without phone" discord seems to dislike.

My old account also had some money spent with them, which possibly saved it.
