Instagram Following Update

The limits are quite strict now, and I don't think that they allow the following of 250+ users in 24 hours.

Instagram discourages and may block actions if you follow too many people in 24 hours. A safe limit is usually around 200-300 people per day (maximum 60 people/hour) to avoid being considered spam, especially for new accounts or those that don't interact frequently.
1. Typical limit: Around 300 followers/unfollowers per day, but no more than 60 people/hour.
2. New accounts: Limit to under 50 people per day to avoid being blocked.
3. Total followers: You cannot follow more than 7500 people on Instagram.
4. Consequences: Following too quickly or too many people will result in an "Action Block" for 24 hours or longer.

they probably found a vulnerability in code, or perhaps it's possible with no automation. i've done that amount before on a fresh account manually. never tried it consisantly though, i assumed it wasnt possible.

I don't recommend it, you can get shadowbanned very quickly. It's better not to follow more than 50 people per day.

There’s no official public limit, but 250+ in 24h on a new account is risky.
Fresh accounts usually need slower, gradual growth.
