While we have not received any confirmation, or fix, from Instagram we believe this is a rate-limiting issue.  **It is completely normal that you might only have one account, out of several experiencing the issue.**   Here is a work-around that has worked for many accounts so far: 1.) If you receive ERROR CODE 1, please immediately **stop** scheduling.  2.) Wait for 1 hour, and then continue to schedule your posts again.  3.) If you receive the error again, please **stop** immediately and wait for 2 hours.  4.) Spread the number of posts you are scheduling per hour out over several hours throughout the day.    Rate limiting happens because you could have 5 posts scheduled per day, and be scheduling several days in advance. Each time you schedule a post, this counts as one server request we must make to Instagram. Then, once that post is meant to go live, we send another request (2 requests in total). So if you are scheduling many posts per day and have many posts already scheduled, this is could be causing the issue.  It is also best to check which other services could be contributing to your hourly profile limit. Please follow these steps: - Open the Instagram app for the profile(s) having the issue - Click the 3 little lines, top right - Tap 'Settings' - Tap 'Security' - Apps and Websites\>Active **It is perfectly normal not to see Iconosquare. (As we connect through Facebook's Single-Sign on feature, which connects *through*** **your Facebook Business Page to gain access to the Instagram account.) ** *If you're receiving any other error code, please refer to the list of other error codes [here](https://support.iconosquare.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408477841425-Scheduler-Error-Codes?hsLang=en).* -
