    We are currently investigating an issue impacting Instagram publishing. Based on initial findings, this appears to be related to a potential API issue on Meta’s side. We will continue to monitor and provide updates as soon as we have additional information or confirmation from Meta. Thank you for your patience.

    Instagram publishing appears to be restored with posts across all Instagram post types publishing successfully to Instagram. We are however continuing to monitor the situation as at this point in time Meta's Status Page is cited as having a Partial Outage, which you can read more about here: https://metastatus.com/graph-api We thank you for your patience and apologise for any inconvenience this issue has caused.
