I am receiving an Instagram error #10 when trying to post reels, the workflow was working perfectly fine yesterday and not giving me any issues. I’ve done basic troubleshooting and got nowhere, I have done the following
-Refreshed tokens (tokens show as connected in n8n)
-checked and included all necessary permissions and made sure its active
-Permissions
-instagram_basic
-business_management
-instagram_content_publish
-instagram_manage_comments
-instagram_manage_insights
-instagram_manage_messages
-pages_show_list
-publish_video
-tried using http requests and not the Instagram community node
-changed Instagram from creator to business account
-have app as active
-deleted instagram from the business profile and reinstalled it
-make sure it has a facebook page
-checked to see if the permissions were there by using a http request node(all needed creds were present)
Im tired and want to sleep, any help is needed.
What is the error message (if any)?
