@776166 it seems like you may have set too low of a pause timer between each unfollow and it's giving you a special "checkpoint." One example of a checkpoint can be CAPTCHA - it's checking whether you are a human or a robot. Try to change your pause parameter to something higher (i.e. 10 seconds instead of 1 second) so that Instagram can't detect you are a robot. Recommendation for fix: try logging in to your native Instagram client and see if it asks you for a checkpoint challenge. Solve that challenge, then re-run the unfollow client. Thanks!
