I've tried this library with few accounts, just basic stuff like viewing stories and posts. One of them was mine, three - new accounts. I did like 10 requests with every account daily and in 4-5 days my account was okay (cause I think it is old and trusted), new accounts were reset challenged.
So do I have to preLoginFlow and postLoginFlow everytime I do something with account?
Is there any known limits to passive actions like viewing people's profiles, stories, highlights?
Does Instagram track if account does requests 24/7? Is it neccesary to do few hours breaks every day? Can someone share their instructions on how to properly work with this library to not get accounts (or new accounts) blocked in few days?

Hi, did you observe any potential solutions?

Hello,

I have the same problem for the past 2 days, they say my account was compromised every time i watch few stories. I don't follow anyone, i'm just doing "seen" actions on story.

It worked the last 2 weeks, it's very disturbing.

Did you find a solution ?

[LouenLeoncoeur]

No, I didn't find a solution, everything I know is that old accounts work okay, new accounts get somehow compromised in few days, even though I don't do anything spammy or bad with them, just view some profiles, literally 5-10 requests a day with huge intervals. Maybe it has something to do with the lib or the way I use them, so I hope, someone or lib makers could share their guidelines on how to use it and their experience with new accounts.

@Nerixyz Can you comment this? I know that you have private paid repo now and probably spend all your attention there, but there are people facing this problem who could consider paying for private repo if this actually works. It doesn't work for me at the moment though and I'm confused since I have no idea what's wrong: me or the lib

@LouenLeoncoeur
Hi I have the same problem
have you found any solution ?
I tested another library as well and it was the same
new accounts does not work as much as old ones
