Contributions summary:Sion implemented features for limiting Instagram bot actions based on time and usage, adding both hourly and daily limits. These changes involved modifications to the core Python script (`instapy.py`) and likely the introduction of statistics tracking within the `InstaPyStorage` class, enhancing the bot's behavior to adhere to Instagram's usage policies. They also integrated the use of statistics to track likes and follows, creating new methods to save and read those statistics. Additionally, the user made improvements to the unfollow functionality, likely to manage the bot's interactions.
