Instagram deleted my post right after I posted it! Why?

Surely it broke some rule? Did you get a notification?

Did you advertise anything, used an affiliate link?

To where if I may ask? Cause I'm facing the same issue.
I don't think it broke any rule, it was a normal post like I post everyday, what rule might I have broken? What rule gets your pic deleted a second after posting it? Can this be a kind of shadow ban? Or a bug? I don't get it
Do you know the reason why?
No ad, no affiliate link, just a normal post and I mentioned the owner of the pics in the caption

Okay, I just tried posting now and it worked, my posts were not deleted. I changed to another network probably it had to do with the IP address I was using before which was a VPN.

Instagram can see through VPN and don't like it. I recommend you use proxy for safe

I'm not sure but it seems to be a combination of low account age + proxy. (at least for me). There's a lengthy discussion about not being able to post in this thread.

I don't think anyone can explain this erratic IG behavior.
On some of my accounts I can post, in others sometimes yes and sometimes no, and in some I cannot post... using the very same proxy provider (even if I change of provider). And I am pretty sure that this is happening besides the bot you are using (even if you are not using one).
But if anyone has a solution (not just guessing), please share.
But my acc has two years and I'm on my home IP and I'm not using any bots, I even stopped manual following a month ago

I got these issues and could post again normally by:
1. changing proxy for some accounts
2. If I kept the same proxy on this account, if you use Jarvee use the option "post image as video" for a few posts, or simply post videos.Then after few posts, post again pictures if its what you usually post. Also stop using mention and hashtags, for few posts. Then start using again mention and no hashtag, then 1 hashtag, until you see you can post as usual. Then do it again as you used to do. It worked for me so far.
I'm not using any bot

i had the same problem, except i used a bot service for schedule posts and follow+unfollow. The method of waiting 48h then post once every 24 hours with NO hashtags worked for me. currently building up to the point where i can follow/unfollow and post tags again
I'm using 2 accs and I can post in the other acc, the post didn't have any link
I'm not using any bot, but I'll try to post without hashtags, thanks.
