Tough spot, but you have options.
If your account really got hacked and Meta still flags it, you can try recovery steps via the official “my account was hacked” flow on Instagram or enable two-factor logins and secure everything else.
If the account remains throttled and you’re already posting without ads, starting fresh might give you a clean slate, faster reach, and less baggage.
At the same time, using alternate platforms (TikTok, Substack, Telegram, etc.) could hedge your bets.
If I were you, I’d create a new IG and profile on 1–2 other platforms now, treat the old one as legacy, and slowly rebuild.
