[Instagram] metadata user's count fields all showing 0

[skymatr1x]

v1.31.6 no longer retrieve user's count_ metadata whether as info.json or --write-metadata for downloaded files:

    "count_media": 0,
    "count_video": 0,
    "count_saved": 0,
    "count_mutual": 0,
    "count_follow": 0,
    "count_followed": 0,
    "count_collection": 0,
    "category": "instagram",
    "subcategory": "info"

        "count_media": 0,
        "count_video": 0,
        "count_saved": 0,
        "count_mutual": 0,
        "count_follow": 0,
        "count_followed": 0,
        "count_collection": 0

i assume this is due to using cache user profile results to fix the 429 issue, could using cache be a fallback when user profile lookup returns error rather than it being the default? or is there a way to utilize cache results while still retrieve these metadata?

This is due to using /topsearch/ results for user data, which doesn't include any count_... numbers.

Disable user-cache (a8376f2) and set user-strategy to "info" (d491564) to get the same count_... values as before, given you don't get 429 errors.

thank you!

i updated to dev and noticed 4 sleep requests are used for a user (an extra request for InstagramAvatarExtractor) with "include": ["stories", "info", "avatar"] now, when only 3 sleep requests were needed before.

same goes for passing multiple stories id urls in one command. before with id urls from the same user, any urls following the first would only have 1 sleep request, and now it's 2 sleep requests per url.

could user-cache: "memory" still utilize user cache like how it was before for the same command run? or adding an extra user-cache option that allows that, and keep the existing false/"memory" to not use user cache at all like what it's doing now?

btw, if config has user-cache: "disk" and "user-strategy": "info", then count_... values would not be updated as cached values from when user cache was written would be reused?

just noticed that with v1.31.6, updated avatar is not being downloaded. and i assume the same would happen with the default settings here?
