[BUG] direct_message_delete returning success without deleting the message specified.

[SkepticOwl]

I log in to an Instagram account using the login_by_session_id method(with a saved session). When I try to make a direct_message_delete request with a valid thread and message id(I'm the sender of the message) the function returns success(response["status"] is True) and doesn't error my code, however, the message doesn't actually get deleted on the website(direct_messages function returns it after deletion as well in my messages loop causing my script to run for an infinite amount of time).

Desktop

• OS: Windows 10
• Python version: 3.10.7
• instagrapi version: 1.16.29

Additional context When I first started using the API the messages were actually being deleted, however, the problem started occurring after I switched to using saved sessions and logging in to an account using login_by_session_id, before I switched to using this method(for efficiency reasons) I left my project aside for around 3 days, so the bug may have appeared during this time period and have nothing to do with the above claim.

Same bug for me.

Same happening here. After checking Proxyman response to the request, it is getting

{
  "status": "ok",
  "status_code": "200"
}

Weird situation

Still same for me. it doesn't work

thread = cl.direct_threads(1)[0]
message = cl.direct_messages(thread.id, 1)[0]
print(message)
result = cl.direct_message_delete(message.thread_id, message.id)
