Hello everyone. I need help figuring out what's going on with my Instagram account. A few days ago my main Instagram account was disabled. I sent the selfie verification and my official document and it was successfully reactivated, but then yesterday it was disabled again and I still haven't done the verification out of fear, and now I'll explain why...
I used several secondary accounts to like my posts. Because I liked to post content for informational purposes, but my friends made fun of me because no one liked me and even though my page grew and then real users started liking me, I never gave up the habit. I completely stopped doing this after the first disable, and then I never touched any of those secondary accounts again, but the day after the verification was disabled for a second time

Every time my main account is disabled, some of those old accounts are disabled at the same time.

This makes me think that Instagram's automated system is still flagging my profile because of past activity, or that those accounts are still considered part of the same "cluster ."

My questions are:

-Is this behavior consistent with an auto-flag or risk assessment system? Does Instagram actually use an account clustering system for auto-locks?
-Can repeating the verification procedure several times increase the risk of a permanent ban?
-Can waiting a few days or 48 hours before attempting a new verification help to "reset" the automatic system?
-Should I consider anything particular before retesting?

The account is very important to me, because it contains a lot of memories with friends and a lot of saved content related to my personal goals.
Any advice or technical explanation would be appreciated
 
It could be related, but nobody outside Meta really knows how their system works.

If several accounts are getting disabled together, they could be linked somehow. I'd stop using the other accounts, complete the verification if needed, and avoid any unusual activity. Waiting a day or two before trying again might help, but there's no guarantee.
 
I'd try to avoid rushing another verification if you're unsure. Give it a little time, make sure you only use the main account normally, and don't log into those old accounts again. If it was flagged because of past activity, consistent normal use going forward is probably your best chance of avoiding more issues.
 
Potrebbe esserci una correlazione, ma nessuno al di fuori di Meta sa davvero come funzioni il loro sistema.

Se diversi account vengono disattivati contemporaneamente, potrebbero essere in qualche modo collegati. Ti consiglio di smettere di usare gli altri account, completare la verifica se richiesta ed evitare qualsiasi attività insolita. Aspettare un giorno o due prima di riprovare potrebbe essere d'aiuto, ma non c'è alcuna garanzia.
Ok thank you
Se non sei sicuro, ti consiglio di evitare di affrettare un'altra verifica. Aspetta un po', assicurati di utilizzare normalmente solo l'account principale e di non accedere nuovamente ai vecchi account. Se la verifica è stata segnalata a causa di attività passate, un utilizzo normale e costante in futuro è probabilmente la soluzione migliore per evitare ulteriori problemi.
Thank you for the advice

I'd review recent account activity and make sure everything follows Instagram's guidelines Sometimes avoiding aggressive actions and keeping the account activity natural can help reduce the risk of another disable

Your IP address and device may have been flagged; try changing them.
 
if your secondary accounts were doing coordinated liking/engagement for you, they can look like a coordinated or inauthentic activity pattern, and that can keep flagging the main account too.
 
However, it may well be that the integrity systems at Instagram are still reviewing the account, although nobody knows precisely which signals it uses, or whether it groups other accounts with it. If this account is important to you, then it is recommended that you verify your account officially when requested, stop engaging with secondary accounts for higher engagement levels in future, and simply allow the review process to continue.
