How to Fix “Your Account Has Been Temporarily Locked” on IG?

Hi Fellow marketers,

I’ve been running a network of about 20 accounts on Instagram for quite some time now
without any major issues,
this past 2 weeks, almost all of my accounts started getting flagged with your account has been temporarily locked,
and makes me reset the password.
I only use Publer + Later for scheduling purposes, don’t use any other 3rd party.

This past week I’ve noticed a Huge E.R drop at the same time across all of my accounts,
accounts that we’re averaging 25k likes suddenly get 1k likes
and accounts that we’re averaging 3-5k likes suddenly get less than a 100
on the same type of content.

I am currently running a few tests to try to pin point what’s causing this

  1. Uploading Photos and Not reels seem to be performing just the same.
  2. Uploading Reels Manually seem to be just as enagning as before.

To sum it up -

Could it be that I went overboard with the amount of accounts that are connected to 1 phone / facebook? i currently have 16 on the same phone / FB

How could i go about solving this notification? iv’e read online that submitting a form to IG team can help remove this, but from my experience getting in touch with an actual representative could take awhile + not sure how kindly he will take my theme page’s operation.

would love any suggestion on how i could go about solving these constant account locks

This happened to my network currently lost 10 accounts for about a year. You are being flagged as Artificial by IG, I would get all of your accounts off of these softwares for now before you lose them.
