It'll be nice to reduce waiting time to 1 or 2 mins, if you have a lot of people to unfollow this gets really annoying :/

This time is based in my expierence, you could tweak it a lower it. But you will get temp ban ans you could not scan more users in maybe 10-15 minutes. So I think its not worth. But if you want to do it, there is a constant to change the sleep time.

@davidarroyo1234 How about to change number of people unfollowed to 20-30 and then wait 5min? Will that work?

I ran this measurement based in my on account,but you could try to unfollow 20-30 manually in your account (without the script) and see if you could increase this. Be aware that the ban its silent, so it will show as unfollowed but if you refresh the page it will show that you still follow him.

hey i tried many ways to alter this like creating a global "wake" flag, but i kept breaking code, ig detects that and softbans that quicker than anything. instead of sleeping for 5 minutes, any other way to have me give an "input" or prompt for it to "wake" and run as opposed to a timed interval of 3e5? i think this is less robotic. my global flag method did not work.

You can change this millisecond to what ever you prefer. But keep in mind that if you lower the value too much you will get softban and you will not notice it.

very cool, actually i just know a lil case switch from trying to get into a bootcamp, but i wanna thank u. with this very applicable code, after 9 hr of fiddling, id say this is my first working code. i was actually able to do 7 unfollows (t%7!=0?) and 2.4e5 (the sleep timer). ive been running this for the past 2 hours without breaking!

Anybody can help me? Where I can change the delay script? I copy the script to console, I cannot see where is loading this script. Sorry I'm not expert in React and JavaScript.
