Hi Guys.
If you are still running your accounts on MP, I suggest you to stop the service. 4 Accounts of mine are now banned without any reason. Few of them got banned after I had already stoped botting. So I think Instagram has a memory function on that or something.
All Accounts were between 70-120k and had low and well balanced settings for over a year.
3 weeks ago, 100% of my accounts each got phone verified, after running perfectly for a year. all had <500 actions per day and at least 8-12 hours of sleep per day. This happened to all accounts doing either Follow or Unfollow... Everybody was hit.
After 3 days after doing the pva and cool off, my accounts restarted back up again... The ones doing Follow actions got hit with a 2nd PVA. The ones doing Unfollow actions did not get hit.
No Bans, but settings, especially for following, must be generously tweaked.
There may be other things at play that got your accounts banned... here are some theories...
1. Copyright violation from posts
2. Too many accounts on a proxy. Before people could get away with 1-3, sometimes 5-10 per proxy. I think the 1-3 limit is important
3. Too many actions per proxy.....I think IG counts the aggregate amount of follows + Likes per proxy now instead of Follows+Likes per account.
example: 3 accounts on 1 proxy x 500 follows /day = 1500 follows per proxy
4. Your "low" follow settings may have been too high for the new limits. I think IG immediately throttles/bans at lower limits than before even on aged accounts...
5. Spam Reporting.... Some accounts will have a warning by IG.... "Do you think this is a spam account? Click here: yes or no"
6. Posting identical content across accounts... I did this by mistake, I had the same caption across 5 accounts ( I forgot the spin text) even though the photo was different. They all got instant banned within 24 hours even though they posted at different times.
