Instagram Mobile Automation: Disappearing Features?

Long story short, I’ve built 2 bots that work via Android. One is a top comment bot and the other extracts emails from any comment section I choose. My problem lays with the top comment bot of course. Back in the day, Instagram would disable or restrict my account but that was when I was using selenium, with mobile automation they seem to now just take away my Instagram timeline? Like it goes completely white for a few hours.. no new post or anything shows up, anyone else encounter this?

of course I need my timeline in order to manipulate the top of the comment section.

Hi, I am pretty sure you get refresh blocked. It's when you refresh the timeline too many times. What's the delay on your refreshing right now. I used a top comment bot on pc with proxies and anything bellow a 20-30 second refresh would get me refresh blocked, however it should be different on mobile especially if you are using 4G as your internet

EDIT: try utilizing the following tab you can find by pressing the Instagram logo top left in the app

they change the time periods and the account you use for work is active on only 1 device, they can cause problems, it is called multi account and the account is boom.

this make sense.

Overal I should say that it feels like AF systems nowadays rely on some overall account performance score. Meaning if your account acts in a weird way unlike all the regular users... High likely you will get restricted
