I've been mining pretty aggressively during past months till 4:37 PM yesterday San Francisco when IG implemented new limits. Now not only liking, following and commenting is controlled, but everything. Get user info, get tag, view friendships, get user feed is now counted.
Before I could easily do thousands of requests per minute. I've been mining several tasks simultaneously from one throw-away account and scraped multiple tags at once and infos of hundreds of user accounts in parallel.
Now the limit is about 60 actions per minute per account. You don't get a ban, but you don't get the data also. The time has come: you need to parallel tasks. 1-account bots are now useless.
