Same here, I'm card restricted too but I'm currently running Miner Mayhem (4 out of 8 cards total) and after 30 min I got a drop too.
I don't suppose there's a way of seeing if you're still restricted somewhere on the site right?

I've got a lot of games, and I haven't seen an early card drop in over a year.
It's possible, which is why I named the game and gave all the other details I could think of, but I haven't heard of any games dropping early before today, and now there are two games doing it for people within the last couple hours.

Before summer sale. Heck, probably before summer sale's date was leaked.
The restriction stays for a few weeks after a refund/game removal. Also, keep in mind that when a publisher uploads a new game on Steam, they can set what time the cards will drop at manually. Normally it was after 15 minutes and 1 card per every 15 minutes afterwards, but it can be set to large intervals and a larger starting time. (I had games before the refund option was even a thing where the first drop happened at hour 3.)

Got a drop after about 30 mins too, wasn't like this before.
My one and only refund request was a year ago

If you put it on idle each game then upto 2 hours simultaneously, then wait on one game, click next, then wait on the next. It should give a card for each game with a few exceptions. It appears that a few games don't like the glitch as much as others and it may take some fiddling with before they start to drop. On the main though I get a card for near enough every game.
It also helped closing and re-opening steam, just fiddle with it, find something that works for you. But the main thing is, changing the game you are playing makes steam drop a card for the game. It could just take some time for it to work. Wait 5-10 seconds on each game before clicking next. Hope it helps! :)

How is an automatic process tedious? Dont you have the time to wait couple of hours more? :)

No. I must return cards to the person who hired me to idle ASAP. Being restricted is very very time consuming, considering i'm "professional idler" I have no time to waste. If i knew what are the consequences I would never refund that crappy game that draw me into this

I've been card drop restricted since the restrictions existed, thanks to a refund right before they implemented the restriction policy. I complained to Steam support back then about it being ex post facto punishment and got the usual middle finger ("cannot be modified for any reason") from them.
But just now, I had a card pop up in 30 minutes for the first time since the restrictions were added. Another one popped up at the hour mark, and a third right on schedule at 1.5 hours. Dunno if Valve has implemented a statute of limitations, Steam is being buggy, or something else has happened, but people should probably double check to see if their accounts are still restricted or if I just got lucky here.
Potential things of note: The game was activated as a key. It's To Be or Not To Be. It has five card drops, 10 cards total. I've got ASF running all the time, and it's my only game currently with card drops, which is how I farmed the card. My refund was exactly 14 months and one day ago.
