 * My Instagram feed (located on the site’s footer area) isn’t loading anymore.
 * I’ve noticed some kind of 429 error: [https://d.pr/i/Fgd39A](https://d.pr/i/Fgd39A)
 * Is it a plugin or an Instagram issue?
 * Thanks.

 * Hey Rafael,
 * It looks like your reaching the request limit for your access token. Did you 
   transfer this access token from another app by any chance? The access tokens 
   from our plugins have a higher limit than some others. Try clicking the big blue
   button on the “Configure” tab to get a new access token.
 * Let me know if this fixes the issue.
 * Thanks,
 * Craig

 * Thanks, [@craig-at-smash-balloon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craig-at-smash-balloon/),
   but I’ve clicked the blue button, logged in and applied the token. I don’t think
   it changed, however. And the issue, of course, hasn’t gone away yet.

 * Hey Rafael,
 * Since posting this we’ve noticed that Instagram has silently changed the API 
   request limit to 200. We are working on a caching system that will fix this problem.
   It should be available within a few days if not sooner. I’ll let you know when
   the update is available for download! Sorry for the inconvenience.

 * Unfortunately version 1.7 didn’t do the trick, at least for me.
 * Everything seems to be setup correctly [https://d.pr/i/w843Ge], but photos are
   still not loading on the site. Same 429 error.
 * And I let it run for a couple of hours already, maybe considering we had already
   reached the new Instagram hourly limit.
