Action blocked / settings issue?
I am getting action blocked within 2 hours even after logging out for a few days before trying again. Is there a setting I need to change?
I thought my settings are very "unaggressive" - why am I getting action blocked so much? Any suggested tweaks to my settings? Maybe I am missing something?
Thank you!

I am running 1.11.2 GUI version on raspi and I am not logged into any other devices when using the bot.
How old is your account. See also other issues about the same problem
I could not find a solution in the other issues here. My account is 7+ years old, and used manually regularly - not only for the bot. Should I change anything in the above settings, or elsewhere?
Nobody knows for sure. Hard to debug. Can only trial and error and report back findings.
Hi, I still did not get the bot to perform any actions, even though I logged out and paused for multiple weeks. I always get the "we limit certain actions - report a problem" window.
I set my raspi to a static IP address, no difference. I made sure to be only logged into the bot when running it, no difference. I confirmed all "suspicious login attempts" on the mobile app with the same account.
What is the most confusing: The account itself seems not to be action blocked.
I can follow people without problems if I use my phone (all on the same account and same WIFI)
Is there anything left I could try?
does it work in a browser (e.g. chromium) on the same raspberry pi?
Do you mean logging into chromium without using the bot and manually follow someone to see if that works?
yes
Just tried it. Same result " we restrict certain activity..." when trying to follow anyone. Still works fine on same account/wifi on my iphone.
Seems like my action block caused by the bot is still active for the raspi device? Anything I should try to change that?
Thanks!
Probably a combination of ip address and browser profile and/or user agent. Not sure how to solve it
Ok, I'll experiment further witha different static IP and and browser profile. in my bot settings I currently have '' as user agent. What else can I set there?
... and what can I set as browser profile?
