Getting more frequent 400 error

I am aware of Instagrams and Instaloaders rate limitations, but I have noticed that I am getting a 400 error more frequently and having to unlock my account more often. I am curious to see if others have been noticing the same thing.

For context, I use the +args.txt method in the command line to download. Within my file I am calling the following arguments:

--login=username001
--password=pasw*rd
--abort-on=400
--abort-on=403
--abort-on=429
--no-metadata-json
--no-profile-pic
--no-caption
--filename-pattern={profile}_{filename}

I wonder if I should be using the session login or if Instagram has been further cracking down on downloads.
