Hey bro can you give us any updates on the no of unbans in recent days?
My accounts are not getting unbanned and others also have the same issue I guess.
It would give us hopes if you tell us some stats of recent unbans or something.
These How many unbans since X do not reflect the general situation of appealing and certainly not account-specific. 
I know everyone gets anxious about their accounts and money. Whether you are using Recap or not: If you think it’s currently not worth appealing, then there is nobody (besides yourself) forcing you to keep going. As long as disabled accounts don’t get deleted, you will be able to come back to them at a later date. Some people wait three years before trying to get back their old accounts.
Even 0 unbans in two weeks doesn’t mean that appeals are currently not working or are not worth pursuing.
-
Since there is no rejection message (or unban notification) in most cases, you don’t know which exact appeal they responded to. So they might be behind a day, week, or month’s worth of appeals.
-
Accounts in the system might be a bad sample. However, even when we can’t complain about the workload, our numbers are tiny against the number of accounts that get disabled/reactivated/appealed each day across IG.
-
We also have a specific customer base who is more likely to have hard bans and repeat violations (Some accounts up to 17 bans within a year
)
TL;DR
Nine additional accounts reactivated since my last post, from a total of 8 users. Including a 3-char account name, I’m sure the customer is pretty happy about that 
The runtime was anywhere from 1-19 days

Thanks for the detailed reply and explanation and of course I agree with your points I just asked to get some confidence in the current IG situation.
Also, I have a few questions I wanted to ask you.
1 If an account is unbanned and we open the profile by URL it will show the profile or we will have to log in and reactivate it and then only it will show the profile? or the only way to check a proper unban is to log in and check? I am asking this for accounts that I have apart from recap as I can see the status on your dashboard for the accounts there.
2 When I open URLs to check the unbans 1 account is getting page not found and others are getting content unavailable so the page not found account is deleted by Instagram? When I log in to check to that account it says user not found. also if it’s deleted can it be reactivated with appeals or i should stop it from recap?
3 Also having too many appeals won’t be a red flag for the account right? cause we are sending daily appeals via a recap. Do the appeals get all mixed in the bulk according to the daily data?
4 even I have an account that has been banned around 5-6 times till now but I always got it back with manual appeals but now it’s not getting unbanned since the start of the year. I have kept it on recap currently. I wanted to know the unban probability of these multiple times hard banned accounts compared to an account that is banned for the first time
PS - It would be great for customers if you have a reply here in the thread with the weeks stats of unbans or something I saw this in a similar service and there the OP is weekly adding stats of unbans happening so the customers get some hope and also some insights of the current situation. It would be great if you do it here also in the thread I am sure all the other clients and members would also appreciate it.
I got an account back but it said the account is not there anymore. And it seems someone else has reclaimed the username. Account used to have 70K now it has 8 followers and I can’t log in. Page was banned for around 5 months. Anyone else experience this? And is there chance I can still get it back?
That doesn’t sound good ben, looks like someone has claimed the username.
I got this on 1 account it was banned and it got unban I guess cause after login it asked for phone and top and then now when I log in it says this. Can these accounts be unbanned or they are gone for life?
Can you PM me the username real quick so I can check for you

On the surface, it looks like it can be appealed. We would need to take a closer look at the possible rejection responses – and how fast they respond (which is also an indicator) – to get a better picture of the situation regarding your account.
Every account can be unbanned, but it depends on the TOS violation, how soon, and at which success ratio for each try. The longer an account stays in the banned state, the easier it is to get it recovered. There is some edge cases tho where it is easier to recover the account within the first 1-3 weeks.

Got this message from Manual Appeals today on multiple accounts.
I actually sent Manual Appeals with Pictures and no Bot stuff.
This is strange

I added the accounts to recap now because you Guys have more experience with this. Hoping for the best

thanks for the detailed reply. This is just one of the niche accounts I had so I am trying to recover it still. I have other big accounts and my personal account was banned which is more important for me to get unbanned.
Can you tell me the edge cases would be banned for which reasons? An old account with a lot of manual activity on the app for years can be considered good accounts? Also, I have some accounts which are in the banned state from Feb of this year.

18 days on recap services so far.
Had two accounts banned and started the service.
A personal account 2+ years old
Another meme page account almost 5+ years old with regular posting activity.
So far no results.

So far only got one appeal done within 24 hours, what gives? Lost my account since Oct 23rd and been applying manually every since. Does recap do manual appeal?
1 Appeal every 24 Hours on every active Account.
That is the limit to not get Spam Blocked.
They do Manual Appeals
