I'm not interested with why is my bot cant follow anyone. it should be stopping when its not succeed. It marks my following list as followed. Its an error.

Can someone fix this, please? This is important.

Instagram sometimes blocks users from certain actions for some period of time.
Try to wait a little bit and use more sleep time between each like/comment/follow.

@tayfunyasar
Instagram denies you when you try to follow.
You overdo it with the number of followings.
Wait a week...

Same here. The feedback required error on any user follow but I can follow normally with the app (smartphone) or web (PC).
I'll try to wait some days but I think this is nor the problem. In fact I've copied the cookie as I have in my chromium exactly, because could be any login issue but not, login works fine with the cookie.txt created by bot and with mine itself.
follow_delay=60 and run follow_followers every 120 minutos to follow 10 accounts.

What I'm doing wrong?
Thank you.

To clarify the issue here, the new instagram algorithm has stopped looking for 'bot-like' activity but is now limiting the number of engagements. It is believed that there is both a daily and monthly limit on engagement. This limit is debated as it is based on the age and maturity of an account. In the short term, there is nothing that we can do. If you get this error, you need to wait for the limit to reset (1 day - 1 week) and then slowly automate again. The algorithm used to mean that you started slowly and sped up the automation but the new algorithm is purely based on the number of engagements not speed. Hopefully Instagram will change the algorithm soon but until then the best automation technique to use is Masslooking (there is an example script in the repo) because it is not audited and you can't be temporarily banned for it. The API does seem to get a bit upset if you have had the same connection for 24 hours which I'm going to look into.

@ohld
This isn't actually a problem with this project but an issue with Instagram automation as a whole. All that we could do is stop the script from running when it hits this error rather than skipping over and continuing indefinitely. I think that is probably an enhancement rather than a bug as the current codebase isn't designed for this new error. I think this issue can be closed and a new one opened for creating an exception in the case of this error. I'll try and get that implemented soon.

Yes at least the user_id should not be added to followed.txt
