Instagram Following Count no Longer Updating
So I’ve been growing my follower count by following a lot of freinds of freinds and then when my ratio gets to bad I unfollow a bunch.
My problem is that the number of people I’m following will no longer decrease when I unfollow people. Which happened to me on a previous account as well.
Is there anything I can do about this?

Sounds like you're being rate limited, try again in 24 hours https://www.attentionalways.com/how-many-people-can-you-unfollow-on-instagram/#:~:text=Instagram%20users%20are%20limited%20to,What%20is%20this%3F

How Many People Can You Unfollow On Instagram In 2023?
Instagram users are limited to a maximum of 200 unfollows every day, however, this can vary from 100-200 depending on several factors. Read more to find out!
I’ve waited 2-3 days multiple times and I’m still limited
I can’t unfollow people
I had the same thing happen to me when my account was followed by about 1000 bots, took me a week just to be able to unfollow them all and by the end I was rate limited for about 4-5 days, kept getting a message saying something like "you can't do the right now..." but it eventually came good
I don't even have a message for some reason
just can't unfollow which makes me think it's a glitch
This was a while ago now, things might have changed since then. But yeah, if it is just a weird glitch then I'm really not sure how to help other then suggesting you clear the app data/cache, uninstall and reinstall?
