There is still no new solution for the instagram number being zero. I will post it when I have a solution. You can increase the fetch time to about 60 (3600000) minutes to have it working longer but it still times out after a while. This is due to Instagram blocking the IP-adress after a number of times. Let me know if you find a solution.
