Users have messages limits in config.yml (messages_limit parameter). Limits are stored in db_users_limits.json.

You can send a message to all your users with this command:

python3 mailing_users.py --message "YOUR MESSAGE"

Instagram Authorization

If you are not authorized, then over time Instagram will redirect you to the page with authorization, so the bot will be unstable.

How auth:

1. Generate cookies.sqllite with Firefox. Manual: https://instaloader.github.io/troubleshooting.html
