Lost 20 followers on instagram in a flash?

[577]

I was on Instagram for like 10 minutes checking this and that. I refreshed my profile, and all of a sudden, I lost about 20-25 followers and unfollowed 4 people. I'm not instagram famous nor super popular in real life. My account is private, people I follow and the people who follow me are basically my friends and mutual follows. I probably lose a follower maybe every 1-2 weeks, but not 20 in like less in a minute and somehow unfollowed 4 people with a refresh? I'm just confused. :\
