In past 2 days, it's been an marketing chaos relating Instagram Likes. For the past 3-4 years Instagram likes used to work flawlessly, there were no limitations or any kind of block and because of that the likes rate decreased to few cents.

Obviously, the tool was abused. I can imagine billions of likes sent in 1 year. As far as I know there are very few suppliers of Instagram and they have done all the likes the way. Now that Instagram really took IG Likes serious, a chaos has been created. I own a bot site having thousand of users and I recently logged the likes doing from their account and this error came:

Code: 
{"message": "feedback_required", "spam": true, "feedback_title": "Sorry, this feature isn't available right now", "feedback_message": "An error occurred while processing this request. Please try again later. We restrict certain content and actions to protect our community. Tell us if you think we made a mistake.", "feedback_url": "repute/report_problem/instagram_like_add/", "feedback_appeal_label": "Report problem", "feedback_ignore_label": "OK", "feedback_action": "report_problem", "status": "fail"}

Now the developers who have worked with IG private API must have seen it when doing followers in bulk but now it has started coming in likes as well. Same with FL, they have issue in like because the 0 limit thing is not there anymore.

The way to fix the above issue is to stop abusing the tool and use them with some limit as 40 likes/hour from 1 account with 1 IP. The reason telling y'all this is because if you won't stop abusing it now in future it will be way worse!

Thanks! Will try it out.

Could anyone tell me where to find the feature of limiting likes/hour in FollowLiker? If there is one?

There's no direct way to set FL to like a certain number of photos per hour, it allows only for a setting for the interval between likes. That's just as well, it would be misleading to offer a setting for likes per hour when the activity is performed in succession (only one process runs at a time for a given account in a given project) with other activities, not concurrently (multiple processes running at the same time on the same account in the same project, which FL can't do). Since one might have other actions in succession (follows, unfollows, etc) those other actions would decrease the number of intervals per hour available to like photos, decreasing your likes per hour.

So you need to estimate how much time on the average you are giving your account per activity cycle (the average of the time frame you have set for likes, followes, etc), and that will tell you how much of (for example) a 3 minute activity cycle you are doing likes (say 1 minute).

If you are on the average doing one cycle in 3 minutes and in a 1 minute cycle of likes you do 2 likes (1 like every 30 seconds), then you'd be doing 20 cycles per hour or 60 likes per hour. This is the upper limit of what those settings could do in likes per hour, if some photos are not liked because they were inaccessable they obviously won't be liked. I think if FL detects two or more IG errors in a row it will stop the process, wait for the automation interval set under File->General->Settings, and then continue with the next process.

All of this amounts to an estimation of likes (or follows, etc) per hour, as not all photos will be liked (some photos may be inaccessable or deleted before you can like them) and multiple errors in a row can cause FL to skip trying to like the rest of the photos it had alotted to attempt to like in a given process, but that's a way to get started on doing the math involved.

Ahhh of course! Thank you very much for the detailed answer!
 
Are thsee blocks new then? I have noticed a lot of follow and dm blocks in the last week or so.

I have some accounts which have had their follow numbers reduced to less than 40 an hour but I still hit these blocks.

It's also not working for me when I set the liking to a very low amount with big breaks.
Nevertheless I'm fine liking pictures in the app itself, therefore I don't have a temp ban....So Instagram must have changed something regarding third party apps imo.

For followers, it's old but for likes is started coming recently.

they changed something in the api. they had big problems 1 week ago, where celebs got hacked because of the api.

all we have to do is wait ...
 
If you're running a bot, and doing Follow and Like, you'll go over 40 or even 60 likes in an hour real fast. Most will Follow and like 2-5 posts. Follow 10 accounts and like 5 posts each = 50 likes within minutes.

I believe it's not a max per hour, but an API glitch. I keep hearing that like services are back and running.

You are probably right but I am talking about their private API, not the public one they provide it self.

We have different methods to obtaining likes that's why our methods were not effected by this update.

You are right from your point of view but the main issue is of sig keys and app versions, people who had reverse engineered desktop one, their likes are working as well.

But follow liker uses sig keys and app versions. why is it working?

It is working so are my bots but they don't work properly as they used to do before.
 
It's not a bot problem per se. I noticed it when trying to like posts on the app on my phone. Heard the same from many others. Even Instagram's app was acting up.

Well only my bot accounts were effected by this thing, I run other accounts on different devices for other tasks and they were fine.
