I removed this line and code working now

await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow();

I’ve tried login process without preLoginFlow() and run several accounts to test.

It looked everything works fine but few days later, we’ve found that some accounts are blocked by Instagram for 1~2 days which is never happened before.

So in my opinion, If you don’t want to take the risk, I suggest not removing preLoginFlow() until the problem is fixed.

My accounts were blocked forever. Without preLoginFlow(), it gave an error and replaced it with ig.qe.syncLoginExperiments(). But I don’t know what these experiments are)) It began to work.
