Bugs

1. [ERROR] login: The username you entered doesn't belong to an account. Please check your username and try again. (restart bot and retry...)

• Why did it happen? Instagram desktop is in overcapacity. Happens at 12:00-14:00 and 19:00-21:00 every day.
• Solution: Try to Login at a different time or Logout from your instagram app, and Login again. Reboot the bot and retry... Try and retry, and retry, and retry... Or stop the bot and wait 2-3h.

2. Error: Protocol error (Page.captureScreenshot): Target closed.

• Why did it happen? macOS doesn't properly support screenshots from puppeteer
• Solution: set screenshot as false in config.js.

3. This code is no longer valid. Please request a new one. (400) (/accounts/login/ajax/two_factor/)

• Why did it happen? It's an Instagram bug at Login.
• Solution: disable momentarily the "2FA" or try an old version of chrome (edit config.js set executable_path)
