How to slow down request via command line?

[sgtpepperaut]

Instagram seems to be very strict with rate limits these days. Im using my own account and my own IP.
Even when trying to only "fastupdate" one profile i am getting kicked out and getting a 401.

When i return to the browser version i get:

_"We suspect automated behavior on your account
To prevent your account from being temporarily restricted or permanently disabled, ensure that no other users or tools have access to your account and that you're following our Terms of Use. Also consider changing your password to a stronger one to prevent unauthorized access to your account by third parties."

Is there a way i can slow down the request?

Here are the changes that work for me. I should maybe submit a pull request.

# in ~/.local/lib/instaloadercontext.py
# in class RateController:
#
# fast_sleeps = 10
#
#    def sleep(self, secs: float):
#        global fast_sleeps
#        if fast_sleeps > 0:
#            fast_sleeps = fast_sleeps - 1
#        else:
#            wait_time = random.uniform(15, 30)
#            print(wait_time)
#            time.sleep(wait_time)
#
# Remove > 0 guards in front of sleep further down

Can you please explain where I make this change? I cannot find any of these strings in any of the py files.. sorry, sorta python noob here still figuring things out.
