SOS.
Anyone else got this??
Instagram has randomly locked me out of my main account, I never used an ‘unauthorised’ platform, only the app, which makes me think it’s spam?
Sadly i did not set up the two-factor authentication and no longer have access to the old email it’s asking me to verify through… I’ve tried the account recovery form more than 5 times, with as much information as i could find and Microsoft Office would not accept it.
Anyone got advice?

check this topic you will find some interesting ways to solve the issue:
I am getting more “Temporarily Locked” status every day. At the moment out of 2250 profiles, about 50% are “Temporarily Locked”. Some of them go to “Email Confirmation” if I try to verify them, which is also the next step on the "Temporarily Locked’ status (it asks you to verify via email/phone).
Anyone else having the same issue? All of my accounts were scraping just fine with the same setup since November 2019.
I tried this, didn’t work

Have you tried submitting the support request form? Which email provider are you using? perhaps there’s a way to regain access to your email.
