Can't unfollow users on my account?

[jdenhaan]

I keep getting the "you're temporarily blocked" message when I try to unfollow somebody. Even manually, it just won't work.

Does this mean my account is toast?

You unfollowed too many people today. I think your unfollow ban will expire in 12-48h. And be careful bcoz if you get more than 2 or 3 unfollow bans your account can get permanently banned from unfollowing other people.

The magic word in that error message is "temporarily". The account is not toast, you just triggered a cool down period. Take it slower next time.

Temp block will be lifted within 12 hours. Limit your activities. Slow them down. Avoid rapid Follow / Unfollow. Aggressive activities may result on permanently blocked account.

Slow and steady wins the race!

OK thanks, so how many can I realistically unfollow?
