Profile header values not showing

I’ve had GramAddict running for a couple of hours a day for some days now. Today, suddenly the “Posts”, “Followers” and “Following” counts on the header of profiles stopped showing up.

Resources row_profile_header_textview_followers_count and row_profile_header_textview_following_count just aren’t there.

I’ts happening on both emulator and physical device, but only with the account I’ve been using with GramAddict.

This of course makes followings_text_view.get_text() and followers_text_view.get_text() return nothing, and in turn messes up the filtering, so in my case for example, the bot skipped all interactions as None is less than the field_min_followers I had set.

Could this be an anti botting measure? Has anyone else experienced this?

If this really is some desperate alternative to rate-limiting, how do you propose GramAddict should handle it? Fall back to not using follower/following count and just interacting indiscriminately?

Curious to hear your take on this.

You probably should hold off on botting for a week or so… last time I got soft banned with similar thresholds I would try every couple days and get soft banned within a few minutes. Waited a week and I was good.

If you run that 24/7, that definitely could get you soft banned. I’d do 1-2 likes, 10-40 interactions, 240-300 repeat
