Hey @a3igner,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #100 - Unable to upload
• #99 - Unable to upload photo on insta.
• #98 - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'instapy_cli'

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job 😄

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers,

Nope thats not the issue. The cookie is there and works. Some software issue it is.
