Gathers accounts perfectly but only unfollows one, then slowly goes through accounts with the 0.01% 0.02% etc but doesn't unfollow the rest. Or sometimes it has this error linked above. Is it a problem on my end

Interesting. I've for some reason cannot access instagram from the computer anymore because password reset page does not work for me and I can't actually try the script anymore ...

It doesn't look like a serious problem though. Yeah, Instagram Will be slow ๐Ÿ˜… what's worse is their rate limiting is not quite easy to pin down anymore.

Since there is a lot of people having the same issue, I might look into the API itself to speed up this unfollow process.

It's now unfollowing correctly after a few refreshes and script restarts, the api limit keep getting hit but after 5 mins it'll unfollow a couple more so it's ok!
