Woke up to 47 DMs asking if I'm okay. Checked Instagram fully suspended. Not disabled. Not restricted. Just gone.

I've been posting for 6 years. Lifestyle/beauty content. Never had a single strike. The only things I did differently this week were use a third-party scheduling tool and post a Reel with trending audio that apparently got claimed by a label.

Submitted 3 appeals. Got the same automated "under review" response every time. It's been 11 hours. No human, no explanation.

The part that's killing me — my profile is still fully visible to everyone else. My followers can see my posts, my content is getting views, Instagram is literally running ads around it — while I can't even log in.

I have brand deals lined up for next month that I'm going to lose. This account is my full-time income.

Has anyone here actually gotten their account restored after a full suspension (not just a temporary disable)? What actually worked? How long did it take?
