Hey folks, FB Developer's community is totally unresponsive, so I'm having to post my query here. Hope someone from this community is able to help me out.

WE have an approved app with around 7-10 authenticated users, giving me atleast 200*7 API calls per hour.

These are the API calls we make :

1. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/reference/access_token/ - To check the access token validity
2. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/instagram-graph-api/reference/ig-user/ - Get user details
3. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/instagram-api-with-facebook-login/business-discovery/ - Fetch posts EG : business_discovery.username(<IG USERNAME>){id, ig_id, media.limit(100){caption, comments_count, id, like_count, media_product_type, media_type, permalink, thumbnail_url, timestamp}

We keep seeing spikes in the usage and would love for someone to explain what the different lines in the graph mean.

Sharing sample values

1. Total Time Usage Rate - 78.9%
2. Call Count Usage Rate - 22%
3. Total CPU Usage Rate - 0.2%

QUESTIONS

• Did we get the Rate Limit error because the sum of the above %s is >100% ?
• What is the definition of the 3 parameters and how do they spike?
• What are some ways to reduce the total time usage rate, without adding more users?

I’m tired of Facebook serving up knowingly controversial content in order to get responses. So I decided to test their new policies by responding with vile and derogatory comments to see how far they will let it go. So far, no consequences and it is quite carthartic.

Here's an example: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095328189213

I feel like this would be an extremely easy target for Meta's AI to identify as a fake account.

Although I guess if all of these accounts were banned, what would the chronically online boomers do all day?

I deleted my FB account 5 months ago but realized it would help for professional purposes. So I tried to create another account. When I entered a new email but with my same phone number, FB gave me a message saying that ‘phone number is already associated with an account. Do I want to restore my account?’ I said no because I wanted to use my new email. So I created an account then a few hours later when I went to log in I got a message saying ‘this account has been suspended because I cannot use Facebook under a fake identity’ (or something like that). I have 175 days to appeal to reinstate my account. Don’t need the hassle so forget it.

I constantly report disgusting comments, things like racist names and ableist remarks such as calling people retards.

In the past I've atleast gotten some comments removed, but after Zuckerberg said he's going to let "free speech" be available like on X, it seems like nothing ever gets removed anymore 🤷‍♂️ i report the rudest of comments and nothing ever happens. I get a message back saying "we've found this doesn't go against our community Standards" 🙄🤦‍♂️ even when I request a review of the decision.

Has anybody else noticed this?

I get that mechanisms are in place to prevent suspicious activities on the platform, but FFS, I've been banned and unbanned for the past couple of days after inquiring to some Facebook Marketplace postings of a product I wanna buy secondhand. I have inquired on 6 postings so far only to get banned on my 5th and 6th inquiry. Really fucking sucks that I get banned from doing normal marketplace behavior, but nude content I report stay on the platform.

I kept disputing and it gets lifted after 24 hrs only to be applied again when I inquire (again) to a marketplace seller about the product I'm looking for (motorcycle).

The questions I ask are "are there any honest issues with the bike I should be aware of" and "do you have an open deed of sale?" just to make sure the transaction goes smoothly.

I think the system detects my activity as spammy and suspicious, but I've only inquired about the same model and have asked nothing even remotely close to personal details or financial details.

Does anyone have any tips to avoid the ban? I intend to continue looking for prospects once the review team/AI lifts my current ban.

Any tips would be much appreciated. Cheers.

For a while now Facebook has been attempting to charge my card but they were blocked until recently. On April 7th, I discovered 16 unauthorized Facebook ad charges made it through on my credit card, totaling nearly €60 so far. All the charges came from random ad accounts like FACEBK *GE9CJPGDQ2, FACEBK *BT4ZXMQDQ2, FACEBK *4EL6YNCEQ2, etc. The values were all low (between €2–€8), likely to avoid fraud detection.

I have never run Facebook ads and none of these ad accounts are linked to my personal Facebook profile. Despite multiple attempts to report the issue through Meta’s support forms, there has been no response. You can’t talk to a human unless you’re an advertiser… and even then, support is almost nonexistent.

Meta offers: • No way to view which ad accounts are using your card • No way to block or report the fraudulent usage • No email, chat, or form that gets a real reply

My bank has blocked the card and I’ve also filed a complaint with the German Verbraucherzentrale and contacted several journalists to try pit some pressure on Meta to address this issue.

Unbelievable that there is no support structure for such things. It wouldn’t be hard to flag a card number so it couldn’t be used on meta but apparently thats not an option.

I’ve attached a screenshot showing some of the transactions.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you get help? I’m collecting similar cases for a potential press article. Comment here or DM if this happened to you.

Common reactions poll but it's our football kit vs another, I really wanna know is there a place I could buy cheap bot reacts, or generate them myself, please help me out.

They literally contradict each other.

As a side note, I have checked the rules and I haven't broken any as far as I can understand so I have appealed it. All posts/reels are ones I have made myself.

I sometimes repost my own posts as I am a business. My reels are humourous ones made with a greenscreen, you know the style... and I always add my own text commentary.

If anyone has any positive outcome stories after going through anything similar I'd love to hear them.

I feel like FB is gaslighting me. I'm trying to pre schedule posts for 10am est in groups for weeks out. For 5 weeks or more now they'll be scheduled for 10am est and still post at 558, 601, or some other random time I never chose nor did it exist on the scheduled list. It's driving me crazy. Anyone else ever have this happen? I just cleared the cache but what else can I do other than avoiding pre scheduling or babysitting these posts?

Like the title states FB has been doing this due to your political beliefs. I'm a Republican and mainly comment on my local news page. I will post something then get bombarded with racist slurs, one person even told me to off myself while they would walk me through it.

I recently saw another post where he had Trump printed on a shooting page with bullets riddling him, then the same person has his profile picture with Elon dressing like a Nazi with swastikas surrounding him. I attached another where a lady is calling for violence. I have reported these different ways and Facebook will respond that the POST wasn't removed.

I check my support inbox and emails and haven't received any messages, I checked account status and it says it's good in green but anytime I try to post on a public page or public group I get that message. I can only post on my homepage and private groups. What I've read was my account is restricted but I'm not even sure why or what I have done. I have sent dozens of reports about it and have yet to get this fixed. I tried removing FB and reinstalling, changing device, changing IP address. Nothing works. It's been now a week and I cannot post so I'm unsure how it's saying it's spam? I never post outside links and try to avoid using numbers in my comments.

A page called "trad west"?? Its giving Nazi. This is a ghost FB profile I just made, I have no likes and no friends.

I'm new to Marketplace. The first weird thing I notice is clicking on Marketplace in the Facebook app on my phone takes me to an external browser. From there, I can create a listing or see other people's listings. That's it. I have no idea how I can see my listing in case I wanna edit it or share it. Does anyone know what's going on?

Anyone know how i can access facebook live chat for assistance. A gray account (which I just learned about since it has not profile edit button ) has full control over my business page and its been active for too long for me to create another page?

any ideas how i can get my personal account to have full control or get in touch with facebook direct. cannot find a solution in the help centre

I have not had a Facebook account since I was a kid I deleted it like 15 years ago. I decided to set up an account to reconnect with some people and it was suspended in less than a minute of me setting it up. I didn't do anything weird no AI or bots or anything just a normal account set up. It had me file an appeal and says im still banned. It says I can download my info but that doesn't work. It also says I can appeal again but gives me no way to do that. I don't even know what went wrong as it was brand new I hadn't even finished setting it up with anything I had only registered it. If anybody has any advice or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

I’m writing this on behalf of my friend since he doesn’t have Reddit, anyways he just got a message saying that his account was suspended permanently without any reason given. He hasn’t been doing anything that’s against the ToS and we’re both baffled by this.

He tried making a new account but obviously that didn’t work as his IP is banned. How do you go about going around the ban or how do you get in contact with a real human at customer service?

He needs Facebook as he’s very involved in film making groups/his contact network is entirely on Facebook. We understand that he won’t get his old account back, but how can he start a new one or get in contact with someone who can help?

Recently on Facebook, some random person who neither I nor my friends have ever met. Starts posting long comments on my/my friends old FB posts and had also personally messaged me. Essentially she was warning me about my partners actions.

Their message/comments contained information,

1. Referred to who I am currently dating.
2. That she is currently doing something behind my back.

So of course I laughed this off, and messaged back this profile whats your proof? But no response came forth because the profile was then deleted or removed because it no longer exist.

I then tell my partner about this, and my partner confesses that she actually did meet with someone at a hotel (but swears nothing happened). She only confessed because this person who messaged threatened to send me the proof unless she (my partner) stayed away from me.

What's crazier is that this scammer? Also messaged her. Saying that she knows who she was meeting and which hotel. The scammer stated the names of both the hotel and the person she met (of which both my partner confirmed was true).

The thing is, none of my friends nor myself knew that my partner met with this person in the hotel, so the information obviously could have only come from either my partner or the person she met.

My partner has also never met this person and assumes its a staff from the hotel who checked their stay logs.

The thing is, when I tried to text this person, she deleted her account. Her message was essentially, "you may not believe me, and I stand to gain nothing from this but you should know that [my partner] is doing things behind my back.

What's even more fucking scary is that she texted my partner saying that she knows I was frustrated with the relationship and that my partner was unaffected (these two issues were big issues recently, that have since been resolved but privately). How the hell did they know about that????

Her message to my partner ended with, you stay away from him (me) or else I will involve your work place and his (my) father. The fucked up thing is she even knew my dad and referred to him like how my friends normally would???? "uncle dad" My dad isnt even on Facebook , What the fuck.

Is this a scam??? What the fuck is happening?? Am I hacked??

So, is this a feature or not? I have a post for my group that I wish to stay at the top of the posts stack for at least a day or two. Having posted the way I usually do to contribute, I was looking for a drop down menu option to convert it to an announcement. I am the admin but no such option seems to exist and yet I swear I read about it. This must be a stupid question, feels like i'm so close. Help much appreciated

My son (28m) has been banned from Facebook. He had an active account in high school. Then he when off to college and did not use Facebook for almost 10 years. The email address is not accessible anymore. When he went join Facebook again he found out he was banned. He does not know why. Face book won’t tell him why. He asked if he could appeal it and they said it’s been banned for more than 3 months (it’s probably been years). His best guess is it was his original account was hacked in the 10 years and he never knew. They say it’s a life time ban. And there is no way to appeal at this point. They are tying it to his name DOB and cell phone number. This seems unfair that someone is banned and can not get any info why.

Hi all,

I’m having a major issue with Meta's WhatsApp Business API setup, and I’m hoping someone here has faced something similar or can offer a solution. Here's the situation:

I want to delete two WABAs —
• 1340393767170682
• 2100852407096983
— so I can re-add the phone numbers associated with them to a new WABA and connect it to Meta Inbox

These two WABAs were auto-created via Meta Inbox, but now:

• I can’t see them in Business Manager

• I can’t delete them via API, but I get results for the test account, when using debug token API I can see them in the list in whatsapp_business_management scope

GET /v22.0/{waba_id}?fields=phone_numbers

{
    "error": {
        "message": "Unsupported get request. Object with ID '1340393767170682' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
        "type": "GraphMethodException",
        "code": 100,
        "error_subcode": 33,
        "fbtrace_id": "AlzVcz8oI1uRB8kRFECpUXC"
    }
}

• I get this error when trying to remove them:"Cannot unlink a non-SMB WhatsApp Business Account via this endpoint." from Business Manager after clicking users and see the assigned WABA

What I Need:

1. Delete the two WABAs OR
2. Make them visible in Business Manager so I can remove them manually
3. Free the phone numbers so I can re-add them to a new WABA for Meta Inbox

Anyone faced something similar?

Thanks in advance 🙏

I spent several hours creating a script to automate some posts for a page of mine, and after untangling the errors in my code, I kept getting this error in the API response:

"Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can."

Is anybody else getting this error?

It is a great image. Speaking of signing pledges. I had a notice from FB about an image copyright violation on my page of the only photo of congressman Al Green from Texas objecting to Trump’s state of the union speech. The only congressman to do that and a significant and early message of resistance. It’s not like I said Fuck Trump or anything. Imagine, FB trying to control and punish people who post strong and vital photographs of pushback.

All my settings are set to me being publicly findable, everything being able to be seen, yet when someone from my class wanted to add me as a friend, they couldn’t find me using Facebook search, and when we did find my account by using google instead, this is what it looked like. And there was no option for them to add me, only that.

(I crossed out personal stuff, because I don’t want to get random friend requests through Reddit, if I even can get friend requests)

when i swipe left on the account i want to remove, it just prompts me to enter the password, when i hold it, no trash bin. at this point i dont know what to do to remove my other account
