Rate limited for what? Totally possible to buy 1000 SOCKS5 proxies for cheap, what's the deal with the limit?

They block datacenter IPs. Yiu need residential IPs.

I'm pretty sure rate-limiting or blocking something using IP is not robust at all (except you wanna protect from teenagers?)

IP proxies are sold for cheap en masse, datacenter, residential, regional, whatever filter you like.

Have you even attempted to scrape Instagram? You're just throwing hypotheticals at me, but the reality is different if you even attempted to do it.
