Slight abuse of these rules won’t get your account blocked, but all actions get summed up, and if at a certain period a critical amount of such actions piles up, it will lead to your page being banned or pessimized. The general rule is: the older your Instagram account is and the more daily activity it shows, the more actions will be allowed to perform with it on a daily basis. Keep in mind – there’s a huge difference between a trusted account and a brand new account. The best strategy for new accounts would be to publish 2 or 3 images and let the account settle in for 2 or 3 weeks. The total limit for all kinds of actions (follow, unfollow, like) is 500 every 24 hours.The interval for all actions during the first 12-20 days is 36-48 seconds.You should keep these in mind in case you’re not sure if Instagram treats your account as a trusted one, or if you want to secure your account from getting blocked completely. Publishing images: you shouldn’t add too many images to a new Instagram account, the best practice is to publish no more than 2-3 images a day, and for older accounts this figure is 9-12 images.Comments limit: no more than 12-14 an hour with the interval of 350 – 400 seconds, overlimit might be treated as spam.Mentions limit: 5 nicks in a message with the interval of 350-450 seconds.Unfollow limit: the interval of 12-22 seconds, no more than 1000 every 24 hours from unmutual and 1000 from mutual.Followers + Likes limit: no more than 2000 (1000 + 1000) every 24 hours with the interval of 28 – 38 seconds.Followers limit: no more than one like every 28 – 36 seconds and no more than 200 followers an hour (1000 followers at a time for a period of 24 hours).Likes limit: no more than one like every 28 – 36 seconds (1000 likes at a time for a period of 24 hours).
