I am getting this error after pos-login, I can get around this by commenting out the lines

// () => this.client.fbsearch.suggestedSearches('users'),
// () => this.client.fbsearch.suggestedSearches('blended'),

the problem is that when doing this, when sending some messages through the API my account receives a 3 day restriction on sending messages

I can confirm this and this doesn't happen after I remove the post login flow execution in my case:

import { IgApiClient } from 'instagram-private-api'
import dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config();

const ig = new IgApiClient();
ig.state.generateDevice(process.env.IG_USERNAME);
(async () => {
    await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();
    const loggedInUser = await ig.account.login(process.env.IG_USERNAME, process.env.IG_PASSWORD);
    // process.nextTick(async () => await ig.simulate.postLoginFlow());
    const userFeed = ig.feed.user(loggedInUser.pk);
    const myPostsFirstPage = await userFeed.items();;
    console.log(myPostsFirstPage[0])
})();

Same here. Removing the ig.simulate.postLoginFlow() removed the error for me but I worry that may end up having other side effects / increasing likelihood of bot detection.

[haneenmahd]

Yes, that does cause other side effects. The API becomes pretty unusable after removing that.

The prelogin /post login flows are outdated. You don't need to use
