Meta not giving full access through Graph API

Trying to use the Graph API to fetch data from all my 31 posts on Instagram. Its a public Creator page that has been linked to a Facebook page.

It works, but only for 7 posts. Always the same 7 posts, that have NO mutual characteristic between them: not consecutive, not same file type, nothing. Claude tells me they're probably the 7 most recently interacted with. I have all the important permissions on the Graph API tool:

  • pages_show_list
  • business_management
  • instagram_basic
  • instagram_manage_comments
  • instagram_manage_insights
  • pages_read_engagement
  • instagram_manage_contents

But it just doesn't give me more than 7, always. Nothing I try fixes this: limiting the metrics I fetch, or filtering by time-stamps, or querying directly through the browser site on developers.facebook.com, nothing. Is this an inherent limitation or am I doing something wrong?
