To get around Instagram limitation, you need to create hundreds of Instagram accounts, buy a proxy for each and make requests through them or use https://lamadava.com to get data |

Describe the bug
When fetching data (the followers count etc) of >80 medias' profiles, I am running into the 429 error very easily. This is unexpected because just last week, I was able to fetch at least 500 media' profiles in a single run.
When I do not save my settings, number of medias' profiles allowed to be fetched per run is at most 20 accounts.
I have also utilised VPN to change location but the problem still persists.
I am not sure why the rate limits have changed so drastically within a week.
I tried to lower my request rate using
cl = Client(request_timeout=6)
and an addition oftime.sleep(15)
when looping through the mediasTo Reproduce

Traceback
Error processing media: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='i.instagram.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v1/users/rana155k/usernameinfo/ (Caused by ResponseError('too many 429 error responses'))

Additional context
Is it linked in any way to the recent Instagram outrage? Should I try fetching next week?
