Seems like the same as happening here: https://github.com/mifi/SimpleInstaBot/issues/140#issuecomment-1150370798

Maybe it’s instagram flagging your account. Does it happen in chrome too? If you go to:

https://www.instagram.com/accounts/edit/

It happens in Chrome only. https://www.instagram.com/accounts/edit/ is reachable, but https://www.instagram.com/[USERNAME] returns the error.

I also experiences that waiting helps :) Thanks for your effort!

So https://www.instagram.com/[USERNAME] returns error in chrome but in safari/firefox/edge it works? Even after logging out and in again of instagram?

Sorry, may have been a cached site. It doesn't work on any browser.

So it must be instagram that is detecting bot or something like this. maybe the bot needs to throttle for 24 (or X) hours after we receive this message

I am also experiencing the error. If I let the bot continue to run the next day, it works for 1-2 hours, then the errors occur again. The same happens with the user profiles that should be followed.

We could try successively increasing the follows per hour number and see at what value the problem occurs. With 5 likes per hour it works fine for me so far.

andinch avatar Jun 15 '22 06:06 andinch

do you only Like photos? the bot will also follow by default

mifi avatar Jun 15 '22 06:06 mifi

Sorry, I meant the follow number per hour. With this config it works so far quite well, but is of course slower than before. { "maxFollowsPerDay": 50, "maxFollowsPerHour": 5, "maxLikesPerDay": 100, "maxLikesPerUser": 2, "enableFollowUnfollow": true, "followUserRatioMin": 0.2, "followUserRatioMax": 4, "followUserMaxFollowers": null, "followUserMaxFollowing": null, "followUserMinFollowers": null, "followUserMinFollowing": 10, "dontUnfollowUntilDaysElapsed": 5, "runAtHour": 10 }

unfortunately still happens to me, I am running the bot on 4 different accounts but this happens only on one. I don't think is a flagging problem, because the page is reachable from all browser except for the bot

What if you log out of the bot, and also log out of the browser, then log in again, is it still happening just on the bot? Does it happen immediately with the first request or after a while?

Since you mentioned this issue in another issue i found I am writing here. Same thing happens to me. Logging out didn't seem to be working. I am waiting for 24 hours to check again.

I am pretty sure it shadow bans the account due to suspicious activity, I have heard on other threads that instagram has a new bot detecting system that is powered by ai, idk if there is any way to get around this, but it is strange because about 2 years ago I used to manually follow hundreds of people, but with this bot its not working, they may have updated the system since then, or its an issue with selenium or something along those lines.

i know that they have been trying different strategies to detect/block bots. just a quick search for issues in this repo reveals many such.

I think now even manually following hundreds of people will probably get you blocked too, so that might not have to do with bot detection. I also know people who are getting their actions blocked for normal usage even though they're not using bots
