Limitations

At the time of linking, Alembic instantly backfills 2 years' worth of historical Facebook and Instagram data. Instagram Stories and Reels are recorded from the time of linking, onwards – no backfill data is available for Instagram Stories or Reels.

Time series data is recorded from the time of linking, onwards. If an account becomes unlinked, all data collection stops until the account is relinked. When the account is relinked, Alembic will automatically backfill the missing historical posts and lifetime data, but no time series data will be available for the unlinked period.
