Getting action-blocked from commenting on Instagram is frustrating. One minute you’re engaging with friends, the next you’re hit with the dreaded “We Restrict Certain Activity” message. Here’s exactly how to fix it.

Go to Settings > Account > Switch account type . Business accounts have slightly higher rate limits and clearer violation reporting than personal accounts.

Do not keep tapping the comment button. Every attempt resets your cooldown timer. Put the phone down for 24–48 hours.

Go to Settings > Account > Account Status . Instagram will tell you if you’ve posted comments that violate community guidelines. If you see a red flag, delete those comments and tap “Request Review.”
