Instapy: Insuffisient number of links even after a long break

[Nocturnal-2]

I am running the bot almost after 3 weeks. The moment I begin I get the message "Insufficient amount of links ~ trying again: 1". It never fetches more more than 24 images for a hashtag.

Does this mean that there is something has gone wrong with my account?

InstaPy configuration

session.like_by_tags(['discoverportrait', 'pursuitofportraits'], amount=100)

I'm having the same issue, if I leave the chrome window open without minimizing it works correctly, but I'd love to find an actual solution to the issue. It's also talked about here #2546

[converge]

trying to reproduce the issue without success.. is there some other detail that would help me reproduce it ?

[pinkoveralls]

@converge I just started having the issue today without any changes on my end, my quickstart.py looks like this if it helps

Same issue for me :/

[lazlazlaz]

I'm having the same error with some of the tags.

Just so I understand. Can someone clarify the error? IS this happening because I hit the tag too often? There are plenty of possible posts, so how does that work? :)

Cor! Did you send too many requests? ~ let's rest some

[LunaticZorr]

Same issue here :( Just started running the script, and it has done one Tag, and then rested.
