Struggling With Instagrapi – Getting Too Many Challenges (Need Some Guidance)

Hey everyone,


I’m reaching out hoping someone more experienced can shed some light…


Lately, I’ve been trying to build a small automation system using Instagrapi, mainly for basic stuff like follow/like/comment. I’m using mobile proxies (not datacenter), and I always load session files to avoid logging in too often.


But despite everything, Instagram keeps hitting me with challenge_required, or randomly kicks me out with login_required — sometimes even when I haven’t done anything aggressive.


I’ve read docs, tried using delays, tried human behavior, but nothing seems to bring stability. Honestly, it’s starting to feel discouraging, and I’m beginning to wonder if I’m missing something obvious…


If anyone here has experience and is willing to share any practical advice or tips, I’d deeply appreciate it.

How do you stay stable when using Instagrapi with mobile proxies?

Is there a smarter way to handle sessions, actions, or anything else?

I’m not trying to abuse anything — just want to learn how to do this properly without getting blocked every time I breathe

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. Even a small piece of advice would really help right now.

• Rotate mobile IPs between sessions, don’t stick to a single 4G IP for too long unless it’s a trusted profile.
• Ensure headers and user-agent match the mobile device + IP location, mismatched fingerprinting raises flags.
• Avoid robotic patterns, insert realistic delays, simulate scrolling or feed viewing between actions.
• Don’t push too many requests via private API, even if Instagrapi mimics native behavior, Instagram still tracks velocity and repetition per session.
