If you choose to use this script, you are doing so entirely at your own risk. The script is intended solely for educational purposes, and I cannot be held responsible for any actions that Instagram may take against you for using it. For example, some users have been unable to log in temporarily (6h~) after downloading approximately 5,000 images in a couple hours.
So, it's uncertain what might happen if you were to use this script excessively.
Be humble.
