Instagram Action Blocked

Action blocks are typically caused by the exceeded number of actions you perform in a window of time — per hour or day. Once you exceed the allowed hourly or daily actions limits, your actions get blocked by Instagram.

How long do you get temporarily blocked on Instagram?

If you haven’t been given a date with your action blocked message, the temporary ban can last from a couple hours to a couple days and onward to four weeks. I’ve never heard of a ban lasting longer than four weeks. If you have been given a date, the action block typically ends at the same time of day as when you first received it.

Contributing

Even the smallest change is appreciated. It can be a typo error or fixing a bug. Nothing is too small to be helpful.

If you noticed a bug or have a question, open an issue. I'll try to answer it as fast as possible.

Disclaimer: Risk of Account Ban

I'm almost certain that automating user activity violates instagram's TOS, which can result in a permanent ban. Only you are responsible for your accounts.
