Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/misiektoja/instagram_monitor/issues/39

When using progress bar (which requires the original operational mode, not dashboard), it is required that other print statements do not occur, or it messes up the progress bar. I'm seeing in the log, that with multiple accounts, other prints are happening

In my case, it takes 45 mins to download the 4000+ followings for an account, and the 2nd account I added gets intermingled

Example (from log):

* Downloading Followings:  26%|█████▋                | 1141/4383 [11.5 names/req, reqs=98, mins=9.8, remain=34.0]
* Downloading Followings: 100%|█████████████████████████| 374/374 [11.4 names/req, reqs=32, mins=4.2, remain=0.1]
* Downloading Followings:  26%|█████▌               | 1152/4383 [11.5 names/req, reqs=99, mins=10.0, remain=33.6]* Followers: reported (129) actual (129). Followings: reported (374) actual (374)
* Followings (374) actual (374) saved to file 'XXX.json'

Check interval:                         1 hour, 21 minutes (Sat 17 Jan 08:03 - 09:24)
Timestamp:                              Sat 17 Jan 2026, 09:24:43

Gosh, I thought I had sorted it out when I hit the same issue a few days ago, but apparently there are still some pesky corner cases lurking around. How many users have you tracked? I've only tested with two at most so far. UPDATE: just realised you wrote you added 2nd account, so I guess also two ;-) Did you have both defined when you started the tool or did you add them via the web dashboard?

I added myself to make it two total being monitored.

I errantly said my post was from the log, but it was actually from the screen output.
