It says it is from March… it’s not relevant, isn’t it?
Don’t think so. Can’t find a more recent date stating something similar to what @ZackMD1 mentioned.
Please do some research before sharing possibly incorrect information.

But still the fb developer status page shows that there were troubles these days Keep in mind that it is with Official API. So they messed something up, changed some algorithms and fixed there Official API. So our soft guys just need time to catch up on them.
Plus, I am not a big specialist on this subject, but is it OK for Official API to work that slow and with that much errors?

Would love to hear this also!
Helpful! Sadly it says “Status: resolved” per June 6th, so I’m afraid it won’t calm down the client’s much ^^ Will see. Thanks!

Today 2 of my client accounts went below 6000 follows for the last 30 days. I am able to follow again with jarvee.
So far this is the only explanation I see.

Yeah i fukedup i didnt see the date of tweets, but let us think wisely. since the past 24hrs people are not able to follow or like. even with my personale account i cant follow (my last follow were 4month ago). someone’s fukedup something the API or as i said before instagram is in the proccess to add new machine learning so they have to re-code algo and migrate the servers. thats why we have this issues
Hey everyone. Came across this mega thread while looking for solutions on how to fix follow block. I’m a regular Instagram user and have never used Jarvey or any other bots before.
My account was action blocked (did some follow/unfollow method manually in the past) Got tired of waiting for my account to unblock so I decided to make a brand new account.
I started following my friends and did around 80 follows within around 3 hours. I received action block once again! To be completely honest, I think this is a bug. If Instagram blocks a brand new account for following 80 friends on purpose, it will ruin itself.
edit** update/
Hey Just wanted to update on this. The action follow block on my new account lifted within 2 hours or so. My main account is still blocked
My wife doesn’t bot anytime, she got a block today and cannot follow… This is giving me a really big hope.

Is good to mention that many of you are taking conclusions without being sure, I’ve many accounts that followed less than 6.000 people on the last 30 days that got follow block, so this theory can be coincidence as said before but that theory is the best we have so far.

yes that is true man, hadn’t thought about it like that but yes having a rest from F/UF may allow more time to perform other actions that will look more natural as there will be less actions per hour!
Have any of you had a “compromised” account message? One of my accounts we ignored the change password messages and then it got down to the point of a message popping up saying change your password now or your account will be compromised.
yeah me too man, a few accounts that had down WAY less than 6000 in 30 days and still got the block! but it is the best theory we have so far like you said!
I am also leaning towards the 6000/mo follow limit.
Look at all of my blocked account’s stats from May-4 to June-4:
You can disregard the first 4 accounts as they probably came in from another service.
I’d love it to just be an IG bug, but numbers don’t lie.

Do you really think normal users are thinking about a warm-up when they are signing up in the app and following all their facebook friends + suggested users, influencers etc? Think about it from an average user perspective. Following around 100 people from the start is very common.

instagram updated the app twice in 24hrs, usually they update the app once a week. So let’s hope its just something fukedup in the API
