He was removed from all positions and was told not to become the ruler again for 14 days.
I believe titans expected him to know what he did wrong and refrain himself for awhile by taking it easy but instead as soon as he got off the lock, he tried to go around the punishment by getting himself appointed as general and did exactly the same thing he did the last time, threatening people yet again. Obviously he didn't learn his lessons from soft warnings. I think this permanent lock was a good decision from the titans showing him they are not joking around.
