[Mega Thread] Instagram's botting limits (to be updated)

[BalticProxy_Eu]

Reposting from another thread:

the following applies to brand new accounts.

as soon as you create the account:
-set profile picture
-write stuff in bio
-follow 10-20 of whoever instagram suggests you
-spend at least 5 minutes on explore

once done - WAIT for 5-10 days.

after that, start following very slowly. no more than 100/day, and interval no shorter than 10 minutes between each follow.
continue like that for the next 2 weeks.

after 2 weeks: increase your following by 100 more users/day, and decrease the interval by 2 minutes (10 - 2 = 8 minutes)
go on for 2 weeks like that

after that, do the same exact same thing (add 100 more users and subtract 2 minutes,so it'll be 300/day @ 6 minutes inbetween)
continue every 2 weeks until you get to 500 (or 600 if ur risky boi) per day, and less than 2 minutes of interval.

if ur using advanced soft like GMT, make sure to keep track of what hashtags give the best ROI. different niches have different return rate, so YMMV.

there's your advice from someone that has been doing it for 2.5 years.

good luck and remember - content always was and always will be king

Increase the delay to 20-40 and you can lower the delay between individual interactions down to under 100.

100/hour is ok, but I wouldn't push it.

All said is assuming you're using your own, virgin residential proxy.

Yeah I am just doing 1 account with GMT2 running on a laptop at my house. I remote into it while I am at work to check on it and stuff.

Also do you leave it on 24/7? I have been letting it run from when I leave for work till right before I get in bed.

I run it on my laptop 24/7, but just recently I ordered a separate computer to run the software, so it doesn't use up my laptop's resource

I’ll start running it 24/7 and see if I get any action blocks

Here are the stats for the last 24 hours

 

[coeuno]

I've encurred in follow block (only follow. Like, Comments and unfollow perfectly work) every 7 hours of bot running.
I've change the settings to be less aggressive (first block when the setting was to follow 325 per days, second block with 287 per days), but I've still encurred in follow block (it last for about 10 minutes)
I'm monitoring the situation in order to understand how IG is working...
I'll update you on the next results!

How old is the account, are you running bot on local computer/IP or VPS/Proxies?

 

[coeuno]

How old is the account, are you running bot on local computer/IP or VPS/Proxies?

Account is 2 years old, I'm running it on a bot (from github) on local PC with a residential IP.
No proxy at all.
Account is very legit (is from a customer of mine and I'm managing it for him to grow) and PVA.

update: settings mentioned above worked perfectly with the tester account, applying to real accounts now.

the latest updated settings are confirmed safe

The bot is the issue then.
