Starting from today at about 6.00 UTC we are no more able to fetch IG metrics followers_count and follows_count from the endpoint:
https://graph.facebook.com/{{vApi}}/{{publisher_id}}?fields=followers_count,follows_count&access_token=XXXX
Does anyone else is experiencing this issue?

    Yes we are also experiencing the same issue. We are using the same API endpoint and our app has the following permissions: instagram_basic pages_read_engagement pages_show_list business_management
    which was working fine earlier. Is there any change in the API contract or permission from Facebook?

    We also got exactly the same problem. No errors on the API side, response just stopped containing followers_count field since today. This causes a lot of problems for our app. Hope Facebook will notice the issue, otherwise unsure if there is any other way to get that metric.

    Same here with business discovery:
    /API_VERSION/ID?fields=business_discovery.username(USERNAME){biography,followers_count,follows_count,id,profile_picture_url}

    same here for {{api_version}}/{{page_id}}?fields=instagram_business_account{id,username,followers_count}. Followers count is missing in response

    Same here,
    I have seen that Meta deprecated the Instagram Basic Display API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-platform/) at the same time. Could it be related even if we don't use it?

    Same here! Problem with business discovery: it returns all fields as useal except for followers_count and follows_count
    Same missing fields for: https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/{user_id}?fields=name,username,biography,website,profile_picture_url,followers_count,follows_count,media_count,id&access_token={user_token}
