FYI i’m from the UK and The Sun has a really bad rep for publishing clickbait sh*t all the time.
Also, their whole report is based on Down Detector reports. A lot of the threads here have posts telling people to go report it to down detector multiple times.
Chances are that we’re the (main) reason that this article was written.

what do you think about that?

I am not sure if it will be much help but I have noticed something odd with the follow blocks this time.
Once I turn off the autofollow function for a while when I turn it back on Jarvee doesnt react to the block right away. With previous blocks it would say straight away that there is a follow block and right now even though it doesnt in fact follow anyone it still performs the auto follow function and auto likes after the “follow” as if it all worked fine. Basically for some reason it doesnt recognize there is a follow block until a while passes.
I’ve only been using jarvee for around a year and have had a few follow blocks but I’ve never seen something like this happening before, also its not just one account that acts like that but almost all of them.
My suspicion is there must be some kind of a discrepancy between IG and Jarvee as in Jarvee haven’t caught up with the latest IG update and there is an issue with the embedded server or there is some kind of a problem with the IG itself as people said before.

Hello everyone!
I wanted to follow up on the 6000/30 theory since I have some data to provide. I run an agency and we have 100’s of accounts plugged into Jarvee (using semi-residential IPs) and the one distinguishing factor with accounts that have follow-blocks vs no blocks is the number of follower actions executed within last 30 days. This number seems to be around 6000 for us as well.
It seems like the accounts all started having issues on May 30th. However, accounts under the 6000
(in last 30 days) marker are still functioning as normal with no action blocks.
Other tools, such as the contact tool and unfollow tool are functional across all accounts; even ones with follow-blocks.
Also, I did have a client who ended their contract with me because they received warning on their account. They did not have a follow-block at this time. The same client who ended the contract with me about a week ago reached out saying they now have a block. So this might mean the account hit the 6000 mark after we were done working together and now has a block… which strengthens the 6000/30 theory.
I’ve been running tests with settings and different IP providers and so far this makes the most logical sense and has real data to back it up.
Hopefully this helps get us all closer to a solution. For now, I’m cooling off on my accounts that have blocks and dialing back the settings on the others to keep them under 6000 follows. Hopefully, this works!
Cheers!

before you read this if this just an Ig problem that will be fixed and i wish so same as you ,than what im saying is complete nonsense xD!
6000/30 theory could be true But don’t get distracted with just that ,there’s More than just that
Yes a lot of people claiming that IG is playing with the limits
maybe if you hit the Limits you get action blocked and that triggers Ig IA that your using bots and ur ip gets flagged and if you have same ranges ip’s same accounts settings and a lot of linked accs with same start times and sleep times you will be in more trouble
so randomizing as much as possible!
Normal users use comments, likes, follow ,unfollow ,story view ,dm’s
Normal users don’t do actions 24h/24h
the limits would be much lower in this case i don’t think normal users do more than 400 actions a day
I’m Not and expert i’m just saying whats on my mind !
we have to study normal users behavior but we don’t have any stats of most people behaviors and actions per day
this is nothing
also you better pause all the tools for accs that has action blocked

I don’t like to speculate on IP issues. I have tried so many different providers… and you can just read other forums. People using mobile proxies are even having issues. So I don’t think it’s an IP related issue.
It’s definitely important to use 1 IP per account, randomize your activity and use sleep timers. But that still doesn’t get to the core issue to why everyone is having issues.
This is the only consistent piece of data that shows something sufficient at this point. You can see a clear divide in the spreadsheet at the 6000 mark:
I’m hoping this might trigger others to analyze their bot activity a bit more and possibly find other patterns that could be causing red flags.
God speed.

not just old accs that has passed 6000 limit are blocked but there’s also accounts with less than 6000 follows in the last 30 days and still got hit with action blocked too
new created account 50% action blocked
we don’t like to speculate on IP issues but its a fact that they get flagged right؟ can’t ignore it

I calculated those figures as best as I could but not knowing the exact timestamp/date that IG is using… (if this theory is correct) means they could be off… so the outliers near the equator might be off a bit. Either way, the data is strong. If anyone has anything else to provide that would be great.
So, a question I have for anyone who wants to answer.
Considering that:
-
The 6000 follow threshold is currently the best hypothesis about the block
-
Most of us are running 400-800 follows/day leading to a block of 10-12 days
-
Most of us charge on a monthly basis
Outside of responding to customer service inquires explaining the issue, how do you plan on charging/not charging for this month? Especially with automated charges/invoices.
P.S. I understand that this block could be lifted soon, even the next few hours/days but this is a thought experiment should we be in this position for 10+ days

Excellent question.

Yes but could they have been using another service prior, or following themselves even?
We personally told everyone we are not refunding during this time mainly because there are operating costs still and this is out of our control. We explain that this is a service. As part of a service, they pay us to keep on top of changes and trends and keep their account’s interest in the best of heart… even if that is turning them off for two weeks out of the monthly subscription. We say, If you don’t agree with this, you are welcome to not renew next month.
I do believe in a level of customer support/good customer experiences for the people that are professional, mature and decent people or when we truly didn’t deliver. In fact, a very select few I offered them a refund because of other previous issues such as accounts getting disabled over and over again (ugh!) and then this as the icing on the cake with them. I feel bad and believe I didn’t deliver the value promised so yes, they should be refunded. We said, only you know how valuable the followers are we brought you to you during this time… blah blah… you name how much you would like refunded from your last payment.
Not one person took advantage of the offered refunds and told us to keep the money. We didn’t get too much kick back and not one person didn’t indicate they wouldn’t be renewing due to the issue yet.
The people that have been noisy/too needy/needing additional hand holding over the last few months that I didn’t offer refunds too at all and honestly offloaded them during this time. It was the perfect excuse and now I know which type of client to avoid in the future that won’t cause my stress or waste my time.
We had one BIG naysayer but really, if people want to complain, I’m going to shut them off. Like I did this client. Adios. They can go talk trash, I don’t care. There are so many seeing amazing results with what we’re doing one naysayer won’t ruin us. Really, they need me more than I need them. There is so much demand for these quality services and we don’t have time to deal with anyone’s crap. Don’t delay the inevitable. Offload them!

Finally Jarvee is aware of this issue, and they have replied, please check.
I Run jarvee such that follow tool keeps running, and unfollow tool runs after 2-3 days of follow, It was working fine and smooth from past 1 year. But Jarvee is now asking to follow users at once and then unfollow once following number reaches to certain number. (So that both follow and unfollow tools should not run at once)
Please share how do you run Follow and Unfollow tool?

Oh wow. I had no idea people would run both the follow and unfollow tool at the same time. That’s just asking for trouble.
Me too haha

If you don’t mind me asking, what were your numbers per hour with follow and unfollow at the same time? It’s been a few years, and sadly he’s moved on to a better job, but my one contact that worked with Instagram (this was during the peak followliker days mind you) said that using both tools at the same time was a guaranteed red flag on the account.

18-20 per hour ( 350-380 per dad), with night mode. I have accounts running for 7-8 months straight, and did not face any issue with follow block. Until Now !
