Description

Blocked from downloading from instagram for 17 hours now. Can still access the content on smart phones and web browsers. Blocked after heavy downloading of videos. It happens often but doesn't usually last this long? I thought it might be an IP block but can still access instagram on desktop and mobile device. You may not be able to recreate this error without downloading a LOT of content! It does happen sometimes but never for this long? Can't understand it because it feels like an IP ban yet can still access on desktop and devices. HELP!

Not sure if this helps, but, I've just tried it with instaloader and it says it's caused by error 429 too many requests and is redirecting to login so it's obviously caused by too many downloads; it just usually resets after a few hours but on this occasion has not reset after almost a day.

This explains why you'd would not be able to recreate the error without a lot of downloads.
