Activity Pause & Compromised Loop

Two messages you may see in Wolf Engager Pro:

• "Activity paused" — Instagram temporarily blocked one action type (likes, follows, comments). Lifts in 6–24 hours.
• "Compromised loop" — pauses firing back-to-back; the workflow can't make real progress. The account needs a full rest.

Neither is a ban. Both are recoverable.

⚡ What to do right now

1. Pause the task — Status → Inactive → Save
2. Let the account rest:
   • Single action paused → 6–12 hours
   • Multiple actions paused → 24 hours

   • Compromised loop → 48 hours minimum

     (Don't open Instagram on your phone for that account during the rest.)

3. Reduce your speeds by ~40% before resuming
4. Turn on Auto-warmup mode (Prorate Settings) — even on older accounts, it eases things back in
5. Reactivate — Status → Active → Save. Watch the Activity Log for 2–3 hours. If pauses fire again, repeat with longer rest.

Why it happened (most common causes)

• ❌ Speeds too high for the account's age
• ❌ Manual Instagram activity overlapping with the workflow
• ❌ Too many action types at full speed simultaneously
• ❌ Recent re-login (Instagram is extra-cautious for 24–48h after)
• ❌ New account without Auto-warmup

🛡 Prevention

• ✅ Auto-warmup mode for any account under 30 days old
• ✅ Working Hours — only run during your audience's natural waking hours
• ✅ Realistic daily limits:
  • New: 50 likes / 50 follows / 50 unfollows / 10 comments
  • Established: 100 likes / 100 follows / 100 unfollows / 20 comments
• ✅ Don't run every action at full speed — pick 2–3 main actions
• ✅ Pause before manual Instagram sessions
• ✅ Wolf Alerts on Telegram — instant notification when something pauses

Account hardening (general trust signals)

• Complete profile (bio, picture, verified email/phone)
• Two-factor authentication on
• Consistent devices/IPs
• Post regularly
• Connect Facebook business setup if applicable

Where you'll see it

When to contact Growth Team

• Same account hits Activity Pauses 3+ times in a week despite reduced speeds
• Compromised Loop persists past 48 hours of rest
• ALL actions paused simultaneously (rare — may need account review)
• You see Re-login needed     instead of Activity paused

We'll review your account history, settings, and recent activity to find the trigger and recommend a recovery path.
