This question already has an answer here:
To make auomatically like photos on Instagram, I'm using cron job set to execute every 5 minutes. I make a call to a post just after new media was added.
Now that I have 350 request per access token per hour, calculating each 5 minutes, I will have 12 requests.
But I always get
stdClass Object ( [error_type] => APIError [code] => 400
[error_message] => Client request limit reached )
How can I reset the number of requests to 0?
</div>
I think your client id is blocked for period of time because of the excessive requests.
Try to minimize the total per Hour to 30 likes only and check the system for one day.
BTW, i'm facing the same problem :(
