I have a similar problem, don't think it depends on the library, most likely the problem is in the Instagram API

before i upgrade lib, the lib was automatically ignoring 429 error but now doesn't do it

i simply use code below to login:

cl = Client() time.sleep(random.randint(1,5)) cl.login(username, password)

and then i get this error:

The next version should be correct, the current bug edits were not uploaded to pypi
