Describe your issue

I've installed instabot recently and used it without any issue at first 15 followings. then I received action blocked error. Ive tested my follow action from my phone and it works normally.

Hey @muygd,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #1154 - я изменил
• #1147 - How to save logger info into text file? or send it to telegram chat?
• #1144 - update get_link_from_media_id()

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job :smile:

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers, Your Friendly Neighborhood ProBot

Not an issue with codebase.

Try longer action delays or randomizing actions more.
