Amount spent on steam?? HELP

[V]

Recently my friend gifted me csgo and i saw i couldnt add people as friend then i saw the amount spent on steam is 0-5$ I thought it was because i got gifted csgo so i personaly didn't spent money on game. Than couple weeks later i bought formula 1 2015 edition which is like 35$ and i still can't add people as friend even tho i spent 35$ and the amount spend on steam still says 0-5$ WTF? What am i doing wrong

how did you buy the game it only counts if you buy it through steam with funds that you personally added to your steam account.

I activated F1 2015 via steam CD key

you have to spend the money on steam. activating a cd key does not count

That does not count. You have to buy from Steam store.

But I once bought CD key (csgo) on other account and I activated it and I got the game and i leveled up i was level 2

The rules changed since you did that.

does receiving steam wallet via gift and spent $5 removes restriction in steam?

No the money has to be added directly to your account from a source outside steam

No. But simply increasing your wallet by that amount (by adding money, not by selling skins, which you can't on a restricted account anyway) should be enough. Since you've already locked the money into Steam by then. As far as I know.

Buy the cheapest game in the Steam store and wait 30 days. Why add $5?

because this one is about removing limited status not about gaining marketplace access

[999999999]

Ugh... I'll be getting more coffee...

Oh. It's the different things?
Limited access is a one time thing and market is a yearly thing but not a specific amount?

Correct.

Limited is $5 minimum to unlimit.

Market access is any Steam Store purchase once a year OR adding funds.
