You know, actually aged accounts without constant activity every month at least, is worse than one new account created from mobile, with clean IP, with normal activity, behavior and content. Better make new accounts slowly and run them after 2 3 weeks, than to buy from 2013 with no activity

-What is your setup to login these accounts?
-What niche are you using it for?
-How many accounts do you keep at once and in what kind of device?

Looks like the platform is flagging your accounts for follow spam. I'd try slowing things down and not following too many people in a short time.
Also, let the accounts warm up first by posting, liking, and browsing normally before doing follow actions. If it's happening on every account, it could also be your IP or device getting flagged.

Try warming up accounts slowly keep actions natural verify details and avoid repetitive or automated behavior to reduce risk of flags. Instagram has strict anti spam systems and aggressive following can trigger suspensions.

Interested in these as well, because without these we can't give a detailed solution.

How did you found the people to follow? Instagram can detect patterns of spam accounts where they generally follow unrelated accounts. For example following 20 highly popular accounts is seen as more normal than 20 unknown small accounts that you don't have in contact list or any connection.
Even worse is when you follow other accounts that are associated with spam activity.

Warmup is extremely important. In case you rush this process; then the account has a higher chance of getting flagged.

this is not about being alive or being dead. The question revolve around trust and habit. what happen when you create your profile in 2026, on an acount that is 20 to 30 years old which is a cold and recycled account?

Depends on your setup, if you are using the same IP for all of your accounts then they are flagging that, if your proxy is not HTTP3 then that might be leaking, device fingerprints, etc.
There are a lot of ways that they can detect it, hardly it's due to the account but due to what it's getting you flagged

Your activity is unusual. You have 2013 accounts with no activity and now all the sudden you do to many actions make like 1-2 actions then pass a day or 2 then more and more but take it easy not like in a day all the activits. Also use mobile proxy and antidetect browsers

It sounds like the platform is flagging the behavior rather than the account itself. If the same things keep happening across different accounts, it usually a sign that the activity is being detected as inauthentic. The only reliable solution is to use the account normally.

Buying old 2013 accounts does not work if you log into them using the same dirty network or phone. Let new accounts rest completely for 7 days before you slowly follow just 5 to 10 users per day.

I think it means that the algorithm at Instagram has detected your behavior as suspicious. You need to reduce the number of people you follow, develop regular engagement, and refrain from following and unfollowing people as a strategy for growth.

ig become much stricter with follow bro. i you get suspend after only 20–30 follows, it may the account history issue rather than the follow limit bro

It could very well be that the problem is not just about following people. Most social mediaa sites take into consideration the entire pattern of behavior, such as the age of the account, the speed with which it does things, and whether or not the action seems natural. It might thereffore help to focus on being active within the account before trying to follow others.

New or cloned accounts usually have much stricter restrictions. Engage naturally for 1 to 2 weeks before starting a mass follow.

If it keeps happening across different accounts, it's likely the platform is detecting the follow pattern rather than the account itself.
Slow down, avoid bulk actions, and focus on more natural activity instead of following many users in a short time.
