Description

After a short period of time, when I make changes, this error occurs to me

I lost one of my Instagram accounts and whenever I tried to log in, this error was displayed Please wait a few minutes before you try again. I created a new account, the same thing happened again, but my account was not closed, but the problem is still there. I read other issues and did not see the correct solution

Code

const instagram = async () => {
  const ig = new IgApiClient();
  ig.state.generateDevice(process.env.IG_USERNAME);
  try {
    const loggedInUser = await ig.account.login(
      process.env.IG_USERNAME,
      process.env.IG_PASSWORD,
    );
  } catch (e) {
    throw e;
  }
};
