I only run the automation two times a day, it usually works for around 10-12 posts but then it fails with this error:
The automation finds a record in airtable, uploads the file url and caption and then updates the record in airtable to mark it as “Live”
I know there are rate limits but it can’t be so low to only allow 10-15 posts a day? Is there anyway I can check what is happening?
Welcome to the Make community!
The issue is not that you are uploading 10 posts a day, but you are uploading 10 posts per second.
Putting a sleep module with a 15 second delay would help.

@samliew thanks for your reply, I’ll try that out 
I read that the instagram rate limit is 200 requests per hour, so I have calculated that to be 3.3 requests per minute. Hopefully this 20 seconds delay will help me not run into the issue
@samliew unfortunately running in to the same issue, I thought it was working as it processed around 20 posts over the last 10 hours, but now it’s throwing the same error
Try pausing your scenario for a few days to reset the throttling on Instagram’s end, while increasing your Sleep module duration to 60 seconds.
will give that a go thanks
