Important: When deleting social media account connections, be aware that the following items associated with this social profile will no longer function:
• Scheduled posts
• Listening feeds
• Content Calendar history
• Automation

As Instagram requires Facebook, be aware that Facebook connections are based on tokens. Those tokens expire after 60 days. When they do, you will need to reconnect your account.
As a preventative measure, email will be sent out to all administrators on the account 7 days before the connection is going to expire. The connections in the Social Media Settings page will also display About to Expire.
Scheduling posts more than 60 days in advance runs the risk that your connection will expire before those posts can be published. Lead Gen & CRM recommends only scheduling 60 days out to ensure that all posts you schedule are published.
