Too many checks per minute

[Cloudate9]

I have an issue where the program will check too many times a minute, giving an ugly error. Is there a way to prevent this error, rather than just catching it?

where "x" is initially 1, which increases by one every time error is thrown.

Messages seem to not link instantly as a result of the this (rate limiting??)

Yes, this problem is because of rate limiting. Ideally this would be fixed by checking for rate limiting and increasing the interval between checks, although I'm not really supporting this project anymore.

As a quick fix, you could edit the 1 second interval between message checks to something longer in instagram.js:

instagram-discord-bridge/instagram.js
