Will the upgraded plan get me to my desired number of posts?

I asked the scraper for 100 posts from a specific hashtag but only got 30 back, even though I had money left in the free version. If money isn't a factor, why am I getting less than what I specified?

If I were to pay for an upgraded plan, will I actually get the 100 posts I ask for? Or, do I need to run the scraper multiple times until I get my desired amount?

I noticed that the information page says that the "website has an internal limit that no scraper can cross" and the "scraper has a limit that we are working on improving". Is this why some people aren't getting the number they requested and if so, does paying the upgraded plan work around this? Sorry for the many questions. Thanks.

Hi!

Free subscription is limited to the first page of results, around 30 posts or less. A paid subscription will bring as many public posts, as Instagram reveals. There is some internal limit for max amount of posts, let's say popular hashtag with 1 million posts will not show million of posts on Instagram, because it's not humanly possible to view such an amount, and getting millions by "tools" is what Instagram trying to prevent.

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
