I think it's time to implement a random wait time. Instagram seems to be detecting requests that do not obey their "human threshold" for its speed and regularity.

allow specifying a minimum/maximum for 'sleep-*' options (#1835)
c9e6693 
for example '"sleep-request": [5.0, 10.0]' to wait between 5 and 10
seconds between each HTTP request

The ability to specify a random wait time got implemented in c9e6693, and instagram now waits between 6 and 12 seconds and not just a constant 8 e9bf8d2. I hope that helps.

is this the right way to write it in config file?
"sleep-request": [6,10]

It is. "6-10" would also work.
