Added a random wait time to reduce the times Instagram blocks the accounts from commenting Added multiple comments Added colorIt library for clarity Removed the env variable (wasn't working for me) Changed the exception catcher

i think you need to copy .env.example to .env and edit yourself, avoids accidental commits of info.

Thanks!

random wait time is probably a very suitable/smart implementation for stopping the rate limit tbh!

Re-added the reference to the .env file, Added the rate limiter that was implemented in the master

I just added time.sleep(random.randint(1,10)) to the bottom of the try block and it helped, but didn't fix entirely.
