I cannot change the email linked to my account (and this for 2 months now)

No matter how many times I try, I cannot change the email address linked to my instagram account. Every time I receive the verification code by email to confirm the change, I receive the exact same code I received the day before, and a pop-up tells me "This code doesn't work. Check its correct or try a new one."

Btw... check "its" correct, cough.

No point in clicking "Get a new code" because the same thing happens.

I have been stuck in a loop for 2 months now.

Anyone else encounter this issue and know how to fix it? Thanks a mil in advance, reddit cuties.
