Hello, The problem is that untill two days before I followed 80 accounts per hour (manually) and now Instagram doesn’t allow me to make up to 25 follow in one time/30 minutes. I was wondering if this is temporary… or Ig changed the algorithm? What do you believe? Have you got the same problem in your accounts? ---

I will lay off of it for 48hours, do you mean only for follow/unfollow or and posts /likes etc? What do you believe…I make daily around the 450 follows/unfollows manually.( 80 follows/per hour and 90 unfollows per hour ) There is any propability the Instagram to penalize my accounts or these numbers are safe? ---

Don’t think it’s temporary, seems like IG changes the limits: [https://mpsocial.com/t/important-changes-to-igs-max-follow-rate-p-hour/21271](https://mpsocial.com/t/important-changes-to-igs-max-follow-rate-p-hour/21271) ---

@ddizzle Although I don’t have access to this topic so I can’t see what has changed. But I think the OP used too high limits and that’s what caused the problem. ---

You don’t. All it says is that max follows per hour are now probably between 40-50. ---
