Error 401 - Instaloader can't login about instaloader HOT 7 OPEN

I have a similar issue:
JSON Query to graphql/query: HTTP error code 401

However, I think this is ultimately due to Instagram's suspicious activity detection systems. I tend to query the same profiles and sometimes I even get logged out of my instagram app if I see the stories of these accounts too often.

Seeing the same. I ran it to get :saved and about a quarter of the way in it threw an error about not finding a hi-res resource, then when I went to run the same command instaloader --login=my_username :saved it threw the same error as this issue.

does anyone ever plan on fixing this?

Unfortunately my skills don't allow me to fix this issue but I can test or debug if it's need :)

There is a workaround currently?

in %appdata% search for "Instaloader", delete your session file and try to run it
instaloader profile {someuserfrominsta} --stories --login {youruser}
