Will my account get blocked? => unless you have a decent time between uploading posts you are good to go! => Instagram actually allows unlimited post uploads unlike other restricted things like liking , commenting / hourly basis after which you get rated limited! => in theory you could upload infinitley but that'd make lots of requests and get your insta blocked for few hours => Hence it's neccessary to have delay between posts.
