We will see, my friend
for weeks/month i couldnt like, allways gave me blocks. No after the update that semms to be working again. I am still testing but so far like after follow works much better than before the update, or at all again.
I will keep you all updated.
I’ve red the ebook about automation and the conclusion from this ebook is what happening here.They know we can game the system so it’s pointless for them to try.So they put blocks on different accounts at different limits to make it harder for us to establish a pattern.
Most likely they watch these forums as they said in this ebook.They tested different services for buying followers /likes with honeypot accounts and also watch collusion networks a.k.a engagement groups 
From what i read in the ebook they know everything we do.
Finally, we have shown through controlled experiments that blocking such services, while effective in the short term, quickly drives adaptation and can make it difficult to amortize the cost of developing accurate abuse classification. Con-sequently, from the standpoint of protecting non-abusive users from artificial content, a more effective long-term strategy can be built on deferred interventions (e.g., removing synthetic actions after at a future point). Such approaches greatly increase the “debug time”for services seeking to reverse engineer how they are being detected and are less likely to drive the customer complaints that incentive services to pursue such adaptations.
Just had a new client who has made 8-10 accounts herself (brand new) trying to follow 500 per day and is growing them 200-300 per day so far.
I begun growing one brand new account for her with low warm up settings due to the block issues. +30 followers so far in 3 days. And she told me she needs better results because an account she made 6 days ago has 500 followers and one she made 2 days ago has 300 from her manually following.m
Good luck to her, I won’t be liable when she has her new accounts with no trust score banned.
People are so uninformed it is hilarious.
Indeed, I’ve shared it here too, I told @Zinade and many others, people won’t believe or they’re just blind.
all the new accounts in trials are not suffering at all. I have dozens on trials and they will not suffer till get on 6000/30.
Edit: new accounts I mean new customers starting the trials test for the first time, not brand new accounts. With brand new accounts things are very different
I have begun approximately 80 new accounts this week. About 3-5 banned on very low settings. This lady is spamming 300-500 followers per day on brand new accounts with 0 trust score. This will equal a ban very quickly. This isn’t the old Instagram of 1 month ago.

I mean new customers using automations for the first time, starting 7 days trials and not brand new accounts, sorry misspelling
Yeah, you also keep talking about 30 days limit, while in this paper it is said 2/6 weeks, which people ignore or they’re just blind
I’m considering 6 weeks but the only theory out there till now is 6000/30 and is working with hundreds here but to not say thousands/millions of accounts out there, we should definitely consider it all carefully.
Some accounts getting blocked again is for me not a fact. Sorry. If I read it 10 time again I will start thinking if it could be a fact. But as i said too early for me.

@kripke to try to understand why you got blocked again and try to define what’s going on there…
How long did you waited to start to follow again after the follow block lifted?
What was your daily follow settings when get blocked again?
How many follow’s did you do before get blocked?
How many follows did you do on the last 30 days on those accounts you got follow blocked again ?

My 2 cents. I’m doing this one year now. We have 15 accounts. It’s been a week with all these sudden follow blocks on 10 account out of 13.
We use Social Proxies (one for each account as suggested by Jarvee) If someone can suggest where to but good Mobile Proxies please Dm.
Every account was different so some were on around 700 followers per day and others under 300.
The account which are not affected are the last three we added but in very different time range.
The last was added 1 weeks ago, the second one like 2 week ago and the third survivor like 6 months ago.
All account have Night Mode enabled. What was mentioned above regarding the max limit of 6000 followers could make sense in my case.
What I noticed is that 90% of our LIKE blocks are gone.

you dont need to explain me this. I thought about it a lot in the last 10 days and understand it.
this is how you calculate it:
But the “rule” has been proofen mainly with data from the past. Most people stay under 200 now. When you stay under 200 you wont know. You are the first one who wrote exactly this.(getting reblocked when going over the 6000/30 rolling limit) That’s something I am very interested in. And have not tried yet on my own accounts.
I also assume it works like this. But we will know when more people tried to go over the 200.

Well, I guess I’m the only one that’s just going to sit here and do absolutely NO FOLLOWS/UNFOLLOWS for 6 weeks on my personal account to see if I can reset this whole “monthly timer” thing. I truly feel this is the only way to gauge appropriately what exactly happens if/when my account gets hit with an action follow block again. Now I just gotta stay patient until July 18th. I truly feel I can give more useful data to this forum by doing this than my immediately trying to start following people and not understanding why I’m getting follow blocked again. There’s just way too many variables between all of our accounts to try and figure out what is getting everyone blocked again unless you essentially try to reset your monthly limit. Since the article specifically speaks about 2/6 weeks, I’m gonna choose the latter (6 weeks) and wait it out. I’ll keep everyone posted, or at least those that stick around this discussion long enough.

I wasn’t explaining you, talk is easy, I just wanted to understand with facts and maybe help if possible, sorry for that.

It was extremely random. I was literally doing it manually and whenever my schedule allowed me to during the day or night. Some days I did 150 follows. Other days I did 400. Some days I didn’t follow for a few days straight. It was sooo random. But I did always monitor how many follows I did at the end of the day so when my account got hit with the follow block on June 4th, I went back through my notes and added up all my follows. Sure enough, they were a little over 5300. My follow block was lifted after 8 days (June 12th). That day I tried to follow an account that I personally have been honestly trying to follow for a while and when it let me, I tried just one other account. I was able to follow that one as well so I stopped trying to follow at that moment and now I’m just sitting this one out until the 18 of July.
