I am trying to grow an instagram account in the pet niche using follow/unfollow and posting 2 reels per day.
Lately I can post reels but can't schedule them on the android app, instagram web browser, meta business suite through web browser o app....
I have like 20 reels scheduled already, maybe that's why?
They could be limiting how many reels I can schedule in advanced...should I like wait a day or 2, how much time before I can schedule another bunch of reels?

At this rate, it's gonna take me months to grow my followers...

Shift focus to creating engaging content and interacting authentically, use tools like creator studio or later to schedule, and give it a few days to clear up before scheduling more, consistency is key to faster growth
 
Instagram allows scheduling up to 25 Reels per day, with a maximum of 75 days in advance. If you've reached this limit, you may need to wait before scheduling more. Alternatively, consider using third-party tools like OnlySocial, which may offer more flexibility.
 
Likely soft capped on the Reels. any luck now or since you got the issue? No stated limit but some notice that after 20–25 scheduled reels, you’ll randomly stop being able to schedule more especially through Business Suite. Not necessarily a ban though.
You could try posting some of the already scheduled reels and see if that frees up slots.
Also, that daily posting strategy is solid. Shame about the scheduling thing though. Worst case, bulk upload drafts to your phone and post manually for a few days while the limit cools off maybe.

Not necessarily, if a couple of already scheduled go viral you could still grow ok.

Are your videos original or reuploads ?

My videos are reuploads from TikTok.
 
Not ideal, but also far from the worst case scenario. Still a hassle though.
Thinking if it might be time to consider contacting support if nothing works out like even posting some scheduled ones early to possibly free up slots. Not that contacting support typically goes anywhere or is it particularly timely with addressing issues. It is just that bit better than sitting on it as is.
 
If you use an API software to schedule and post the reels for you, the reach may drop because of it being API. That being said, post from a device using a 4g simcard or proxy attached.

you might’ve hit insta’s reel scheduling cap, happens sometimes. chill for a day or two then try again. growth feels
 
Enable professional mode maybe there are no restrictions or rules for scheduled posts ! They provide maximum freedom for content . Maybe
