Has anyone else reached these numbers without a temp ban?

azeds · Sep 17, 2015

So today, I decided to use a very legit aged account and see how far I could push the limits before I hit a wall.
I managed to follow 8k people, 15k likes and made 2k comments.
No ban, no temp ban, no captchas.

The account is about 2 years old if it matters.
Has anyone else managed to do this?

In what time frame? 24hrs?

Cherry · Sep 17, 2015

I thought on Instagram we're only allowed to follow 7k max?

Sometimes temp bans comes after couple of days. You can follow a total of 7.5k people, how did you manage to follow 8k people and I'm assuming you didnt unfollow people

There's no possible way he followed 8,000 users in a 24 hour span.

How long did this take you to get to those numbers? It is possible, but I'm sure you will get banned if you did this in a short amount of time.

iamlamer · Sep 17, 2015

I have been doing ~1200 follows ~1200 unfollows and ~2250 likes per day for the a past few months, increasing by single digits once a week or once every two weeks.

calamassi86 · Sep 17, 2015

with a new one you wouldnt have reached 1000 follows lol

richardleb · Sep 17, 2015

Yes, it's because it's an old account and you can push the limits

a little over 24 hours.

lennyserrano · Sep 17, 2015

you won't have many bans anyway if you follow people and you wait for them to follow back I think, the only time you will get banned is because sometimes you can follow but people cannot follow you that is why you get blocked sometimes.

i think he rounded the number

however i remember i was able to do that with accs sometimes, there was a mass follow script and it was that fast, that ig wasn't able to restrict in time, so sometimes the following counter went above 8k lol with accs which had the 7.5k limit

I can only say that he done this with a bot of some kind but I believe you can't even follow that many people with or without a bot.

petirthunder · Sep 17, 2015

i believe what OP saying, its possible to reach that amount of number... but he is not using common bot

8k follows, 15k likes and 2k comments. So, 25k tasks. on 1440 minutes.
It means 1 task at 3 seconds, for 24 hours. little impossible.

Paper-Boy · Sep 17, 2015

Yes but they don't last long of course.

I remember I did 30k likes and 5k comments in a span of a week before getting banned. Was well worth it since I got so much traffic out of it.

Euphorix · Sep 18, 2015

I'm not looking to go overboard like this but:

How old should your account be before you can begin pushing limits/ be less cautious

I did this with 2 different programs running simultaneously.
Still no issue with my account 24ish hours later.
