It’s possible that because of all of the teen safety stuff that was in the news in the last month, Instagram has been updating some of their policy enforcement without really announcing it.

My best guess is the issue with recommendations may be because of links on your profile (which can't be edited on web, only in-app). But you may need to archive an image in order to trigger Insta to re-evaluate your account. That seemed to be what did it for me, although that's just one data point.

Oooh removing the profile link (and maybe 2 images out of the 18 it had flagged as 18+) seems to have resolved it after a couple of days.

Same thing happened to me recently. My best guess is that the link I shared from my profile to my portfolio, which included images beyond what Instagram would allow might’ve been the problem. But getting it reversed has proven elusive for me so far.
