Hey @mcarlock12,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #1356 - [BUG/QUESTION] Like/comment timeline, the filtration issue.
• #1353 - [QUESTION] how are the parameters of reply_to_media_comments.py defined?
• #1343 - [QUESTION] Can't login, Instagram keep asking me if this was me and every time I click yes still won't login

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job 😄

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers,
Your Friendly Neighborhood ProBot
