instagrapi: Cant login [429 error]

I got 429: Too many requests | PleaseWaitFewMinutes: Please wait a few minutes before you try again. errors when I try to log in. I don’t send too many requests. It’s like the second or third login attempt I’m making this month and all I did was getting some user IDs and that’s it

I tried different VPN connection and adding proxy but it didn’t help

Use instagrapi==1.7.3

private_requests_count is counter only

if you are making few requests, try increasing the timeout cl.request_timeout = 30

cl.request_timeout = 30 worked for me! Thank you very much! No 429 error anymore! 😃

Hi @adw0rd, Thank you very much for your replay and fix. yes it kind of worked with a first test. I still got the error message, but it uploaded successfully a test sunrise video at the dolomiti_timelapse channel. Thank your very much! I will observe the upload the next few days and I will report how it does in the long term. The error I got was:
