Anyone been in instagram jail?

Did a bit too much comping one day it seems. Now I can't follow anyone or comment. Though I can post pics. I get a message that says I have been overusing a feature so am blocked and should try again later. There is also a button to click that says report if you disagree. Despite reporting daily for about a week there's no sign of me being able to use anything, no response, and of course no real reason given or a warning or anything.

If anyone knows a 'get out of jail' card please do enlighten me, otherwise watch out guys.

I've had this a couple of times but only from liking photos, I could always comment and post photos. But it wore off after 24 hours.

Is this the message you are seeing? Does it not say when you can start using it again?

Yes that's the one but it didn't say anything about when it would be lifted. Instead of saying when it would lift it just said, 'try again later'. Had it a week. Just posted this and it's just lifted lol.

I had this problem a couple of months ago... after well over a week I saw someone post about having the same problem and someone suggested logging out and in again... I tried it and it fixed it! x
