videoPlayCount = 0, likesCount = -1 for Instagram Reels

Hello, I've noticed a consistent issue when scraping Instagram Reels:

videoPlayCount is always returned as 0

likesCount is always -1

This happens across all runs, even though the content is public and clearly shows non-zero engagement metrics on Instagram. Can you clarify whether this is a limitation of the Instagram API, a bug in the actor, or a temporary restriction? Is there any planned fix or workaround to get accurate engagement metrics for Reels?

Thanks in advance for your support.
