Why do I receive an error?
Wondering how you get the error? Here are a few reasons why your following list might not load.
1. You may have unfollowed too many users from your watchlist at once.

This is how Instagram prevents spam and automation in their platform.
You don’t want to be constantly unfollowed by many users because Instagram will think it’s not ‘normal human activity’.
What you want to do instead is to prevent this from ‘acting’ like a human. We will learn more about this later.
2. You are using a third party application to unfollow the user.
If you’re using a third-party app to unfollow a user, your unfollow list will be disabled in a flash.
Third-party apps are likely to accelerate the rate at which users you’re unfollowing.
Therefore, if you are using the app to unfollow a user, Instagram’s algorithm will detect that you are using a third-party automation or app and your follow list will be temporary. disabled.
