Recently within the past few days, I noticed a few of my accounts has been losing followers, although I still am getting the same amount I usually get daily but a tons of unfollows that make it look like I don’t gain anything. I don’t know what is happening and I don’t know how long it will take until this is resolved. Somebody please help me with this, thanks.

Instagram often do some cleaning waves, when it comes about followers. Sometimes it's general (for everyone), sometimes it only affects a some users. You might want to wait a few days and see if it goes back to normal

Instagram removes inactive or bot accounts after a certain period of time. This might have happened in your case. Algorithm changes can also affect as your posts might not be reaching your followers. Make sure that you are not making any changes in your content or posting schedule.

A few times in a year Instagram does a deep cleanup to remove fake, bot or inactive accounts so not only yours but a lot of accounts see sudden follower loss, it's nothing to worry about if your content quality is the same and you haven't changed anything.

If you bought the followers they might have fallen, if not Instagram must have removed them. It can occur sometimes, they remove inactive and bot accounts.

If the followers were fake or bots, they would be eventually reduced as Instagram bans these bot accounts. However, if the followers were real and grew slowly over time, the reason might be a change in the quality of content. Either you are not posting new content, or the quality is not as good as before.

Instagram keeps doing a purge often in which it removes bots and dead accounts and that causes to see drops in followers if you have these types of accounts as followers.
On specific days it has huge purges and on an ongoing basis it keeps doing daily basic cleanup.

It’s hard to say, but it could be bots joined earlier. Keep monitoring it.
