Instapy: Delay period before unfollowing

[underclass]

From the examples of the unfollow function;
session.unfollow_users(amount=10, onlyInstapyFollowed = True, onlyInstapyMethod = 'FIFO', sleep_delay=60)

This would unfollow 10 users every 60 minutes.

Is there a way to add a delay so that after following a user, unfollow can't be activated for a variable period eg:
session.unfollow_users(amount=10, onlyInstapyFollowed = True, onlyInstapyMethod = 'FIFO', sleep_delay=60, unfollow_delay=10080)

This would unfollow 10 users every 60 minutes, but only if account had been followed for 7 days or more.

This would be awesome!

I wonder if you could schedule this as a separate job with an offset;

Definitely a great idea, I believe this would potentially huge improve the throughput.

I have done a feature that unfollow each time we get to max followeing by user so we can drop unfollow_users

@sionking could you explain how you've achieved this please?

Here it is guys,
@underclass for delay of week, use

unfollow_users(unfollow_after=168*60*60)

or just
_unfollow_after=604800_

it's just seconds, for ease use hours*minutes*seconds format (1 week is 168 hours)

Also, the time is unique for every user..
