Why did the final step of publishing return error 2207089 { "error": { "message": "Invalid parameter", "type": "OAuthException", "code": 100, "error_subcode": 2207089, "is_transient": false, "error_user_title": "Carousel Item Cannot Be Published Standalone", "error_user_msg": "Media created with media_type=VIDEO is a carousel item and cannot be published as a standalone post. To publish a standalone video, use media_type=REELS instead.", "fbtrace_id": "A6GfaOpO7FLFBYrt5W4sQP6" } }

no change. everything was working fine last week and before too. Today, unable to publish video (same format as before, here 9:16). media_type is set to REELS. Container ID OK (on /media). Then /media_publish error 2207089 (error code not documented by the way).

The issue has been fixed


Around 10:00 AM on 2/27 JST, requests have been successful too!
However, it seems that posts that include videos (Carousel, Reels, Stories) will be published a little later.
Yep, same issue here!

I’m seeing the same issue and can reproduce it reliably. This may be a platform-side issue, because it persists after ruling out the usual causes.
Observed behavior - POST /{ig-user-id}/media with media_type=REELS returns a creation_id. - Polling the container shows status_code=FINISHED. - POST /{ig-user-id}/media_publish fails with error_subcode=2207089: “Media created with media_type=VIDEO is a carousel item and cannot be published as a standalone post…”
Minimal repro 1) Create container: POST https://graph.facebook.com/vXX.X/{ig-user-id}/media Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded access_token=... media_type=REELS video_url=https://<public_https_mp4>.mp4 share_to_feed=true caption=test 2) Poll: GET https://graph.facebook.com/vXX.X/{creation_id}?fields=status_code,status&access_token=... (reaches FINISHED) 3) Publish: POST https://graph.facebook.com/vXX.X/{ig-user-id}/media_publish Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded creation_id=... access_token=... (fails with 2207089)
What I checked (common causes) - video_url is public HTTPS and returns: - 200 on HEAD with Content-Type: video/mp4 and Content-Length present - 206 Partial Content on Range: bytes=0-1 with Accept-Ranges: bytes - no redirects (no 301/302) - Tested a short “control” MP4 (3–5s, H.264, no audio, simple caption “test”) → same result. - Tried request bodies as x-www-form-urlencoded / multipart/form-data / JSON → same outcome. - Tried multiple Graph API versions (older + newer) → same outcome. - Token/linkage sanity: - token valid and includes instagram_content_publish - publishing IG user id matches the linked IG business account id
Impact - Container creation succeeds and reaches FINISHED, but publish is rejected because the container is treated as VIDEO at publish time (2207089).
Temporary workaround (optional) - If publish returns 2207089, fall back to publishing a PHOTO (e.g., thumbnail) with the same caption to avoid a hard failure.
If anyone else can confirm, please share: - one fbtrace_id from the 2207089 failure - whether your video_url returns 206 for Range: bytes=0-1 - the Graph API version used

We have the same issue. Has someone seen an official bug report about it?

@Ricu Thanks a lot for the bug report. I know that Meta will ask you for a grap api explorer session. Would you mind adding it, so they have immediately all data they need

Hey Hendrik — I tried, but they’ll probably say they can’t act on it because it’s not reproducible every time (they’ll just ask us to “publish” again / try again). Also, the container expires, so I couldn’t attach a saved session/graph since I can’t reliably reproduce it.

@Hendrik, done ✅

@Ricu Thank you, I appreciate it

@Ricu You mentioned that it works sometimes for you. Did I understand you correctly here? For us all are failing

@Ricu you check if a ticket still open for you, pls? and reopen if not. Thanks!
