PodSwap health score and engagement confirmation
Understand how participation affects confirmation, when points are held and where to review a missing engagement. This is a PodSwap score, not Instagram Account Status.

Step 2 · In PodSwap
Understand a pending action
Some actions are held for checking rather than confirmed immediately. A pending label is a status to follow, not a reason to repeat the same action.
Step 3 · In PodSwap
Resolve a problem through the order
Use the order’s reporting and evidence flow. The health system and review process help handle missing or disputed engagement.
Trust
Fair by design, not by promise
Three rules keep an exchange between strangers honest: your health score decides how fast your points land, nobody is served the same post twice, and every dispute gets a clock and a reply.
Rule 1 · Health score
Your health score decides when your points land
100
Every account starts at 100
Points land instantly Points held 24 hours
At 95 or above, a point you earn — and the engagements it buys — land at once. Below 95, both wait 24 hours while the other side can report them. : . Back to 95, so everything held is released now. Under 95: new points wait 24 hours. Still 95 or above: points keep landing instantly.
Try it — what moves the score
A dispute filed costs 1 on comments and 2 on the other 4 exchanges. The score is keyed to the Instagram account, so deleting and re-adding it resets nothing. The health score in full →
The boundary
Your account stays yours
No password, ever
No session, no official Instagram API
Every engagement left by a real person, by hand
How that is enforced →
Rule 3 · Disputes
A clock, a right of reply and a human
1
Report it
An engagement that did not land. Filing it costs the other side health at once.
2
24 hours to reply
The other side can answer with proof before anything is final.
3
A moderator decides
On comments, a person reads both sides when you still disagree.
Reporting, proof and moderation →
Rule 2 · Deduplication
You will never be served the same post twice in an exchange
- Within one exchange Never twice
- A post you have engaged with never comes back in that exchange, and neither does a queue you have already worked.
- Follows Once, for good
- Deduped permanently. You can only follow an account once, so a pair is spent after a single exchange.
- Stories Once a month
- Deduped pairwise per calendar month, so an active cohort can keep exchanging without burning future pairs.
- Between exchanges Allowed
- Not deduplicated. The same post can reach you in comments and again in saves — each exchange keeps its own history.

What to expect
PodSwap’s health score is separate from Instagram’s account status and from the Shadowban Checker. None of these scores guarantees that a social platform will accept coordinated engagement.

The details
Rules and worked examples
How it moves
Every account starts at 100. A dispute filed against you costs 1 point. If a moderator upholds it, that becomes 5.
Denying valid proof and losing the escalation also costs 5 — the penalty runs in both directions, so filing a false report is not free.
If a dispute against you is overturned, the point is restored.
The score is keyed to the Instagram account ID, so removing the account from PodSwap and re-adding it does not reset anything.
What it buys you
At 95 or above your engagements confirm immediately and your points land immediately.
Below it, every engagement you perform waits 24 hours before confirming, which gives the other side time to report a problem.
The dispute pipeline
A receiver who did not get what they were owed files a report, which starts a 24-hour clock.
The sender can respond with a rebuttal or a screenshot as proof. The receiver can accept it, deny it, or escalate.
An escalation goes to a human moderator. If the report is upheld the sender loses 5 points and the receiver is re-queued at the top of the priority order. If it is overturned, the sender is paid and the false denial costs the receiver 5.
Separately, if five different users report the same queued post for the same reason, it is paused or cancelled automatically.
