How it works in Exporter for IG:
If you export a huge list of followers, you can experience a rate limit error
The igexport app goes into “Cooldown” mode. The timer shows the time remaining.
If the error persists, the cooldown period increases 2x.
Once the cooldown period end and the subsequent request is successful, the app switches to the Normal mode.

Limitations:
* Account Usage: It is recommended not to use your primary Instagram account with any igexport or ig exporter. Frequent data extraction through an ig follower export tool could flag unusual activity, potentially leading to temporary restrictions or account blocks.
* Rate Limits: Instagram enforces strict rate limits on the number of requests that can be made within a specific time. Overstepping these limits while using an igexporter or Instagram follower export tool may result in errors or temporary suspensions.
* Automation Risks: While ig export simplifies data collection, Instagram discourages automated activities, and excessive use of an Instagram following export tool could violate platform policies.
* Data Integrity: Exporting data using an Instagram follower export tool depends on the availability of public information. Private accounts or restricted profiles may not provide full data.
* Incomplete Exports: For accounts with a large number of followers, the ig follower export tool may occasionally result in incomplete data. Running igexport multiple times might produce slightly different results due to Instagram's limitations and changing follower lists.
