This is a known issue with the Instagram source connector's
user_insights
stream. The error occurs because the connector is sending a
since
parameter with a future or out-of-range date to the Meta API, which rejects it. Root Cause The problem is related to date/time handling in the
user_insights
stream. The connector computes `since`/`until` parameters using UTC, while the Meta API interprets day boundaries based on the account's local timezone. For accounts in timezones ahead of UTC (e.g., UTC+2), the UTC-derived timestamps can appear as future dates from Meta's perspective, causing the
(#100) since param is not valid
error. [GitHub Issue] In your case, the request was sent at
2026-03-18T06:06:12 GMT
but the
since
parameter was
2026-03-18T08:00:00+00:00
, which is effectively a future time relative to when the request was made — consistent with this timezone-related regression. Fix This issue was introduced as a regression in v4.2.18 and a fix was merged in v4.2.21 (released 2026-03-12), which adds a lookback window and filters future-dated records in
user_insights
to prevent the cursor from advancing past the current UTC time. [changelog] Recommended Actions 1. Upgrade to v4.2.21 or later — this version contains the fix for the future-date issue in
user_insights
. 2. If you cannot upgrade immediately, downgrading to v4.2.14 is a confirmed workaround — multiple users reported that rolling back to 4.2.14 immediately resolved the issue. [GitHub Issue] 3. As a temporary mitigation, you can also try setting your
start_date
to a recent value well within the 2-year window, though this may not fully resolve the intermittent failures. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button â„šī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
