haha never mind. How to do that(to set the limit)?. And one other thing. I'm trying to write a selenium based(not decided yet) script to do the same job. From your experience with IG Technology and bot detection. Anything I should be aware of while building the script?

On line 37 (https://gist.github.com/chaodonghu/c25c7ee3e3eb85c0a0de051892e596a4#file-follow-instagram-js-L37) you can change the multiple of the randomTimeout.
eg. const randomTimeout = () => (Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1) * 1000) + 20000 -> const randomTimeout = () => (Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1) * 1000) + 40000
Essentially changing the follow rate from 20-29s to 40-49s. The bot detection is kind of hard to avoid to be honest from what i've read it's probably ~100 followers/hour that it's capped at. If you really wanted to just have the tab open and run it with a safe 60-69 second rate.
For selenium based it should be the same thing, just have it click through and set the rate accordingly.
Thanks a lot Chao. This is really helpful :)
Could you whitelist people that are following you back or is it one or the other only?
No worries, sorry I'm on my personal account vs work account lol. Just be careful to set the limit/timer accordingly so you don't get detected by instagram for scripting.
