Since April I decided that I don’t want to use Instagram anymore, but I still need for some use case so I cannot delete the account entirerly, and I decided to delete all the interation I had in the platform, but for some unknown reason if I go and remove the like from the interaction section and I try to do it another time (because funny enough instagram limit how many likes you can delete at the same time) it doesn’t let you do that, even if you wait minutes after the first one, and it doesn’t let you do that even if you go in a random post and click on the heart button manually, and this is not a today thing because I tried to do soo 3 days ago and instagram did the same thing.

    Part of this has to do with people creating spammy mass like/unlike follow/unfollow bots to grow accounts disingenuously. They just rapid fire like and follow stuff on IG so those people will return the favor in kind and then the bot later goes back and undoes those actions. Rinse and repeat. So it’s kinda understandable why they throttle this behavior.

        It would make any sense if they didn’t force you to make 1 request every hour or even longer to only to delete 100 of you likes/comments/story interactions from your almost 10 year old account.
