Getting the same error while cancelling the follow request.

Code:

from instagrapi import Client
import time, random
cl = Client()
cl.login('', '')

with open('users.txt','r') as f:
    users = f.readlines()

for user in users:
    user_id = cl.user_id_from_username(user.strip())
    print("Cancelling Request for: ", user.strip())
    cl.user_unfollow(user_id)
    time.sleep(random.uniform(3, 7))
