Instagram challenge required error is a way for Instagram developers to check - you are human or not and prevent bots from using Instagram. Instagram challenge_required errors can be caused by the following reasons.
- when the account's activity is detected as suspicious or spam-like.
- It can happen when a user tries to follow or unfollow too many accounts in a short period, excessively commenting or liking posts, using automated tools to increase followers, or any other suspicious activity.
- When a user hits a limit, Instagram shows the challenge_required error to verify the account's authenticity.
