Did Instagram change API rate limits on Mar 30, 2018?

Yes It is, Although no official communication.
I also experienced that.
I found this in their documentation.

The Instagram API uses the same rate limiting as the Graph API (200 calls per user per hour) with one exception: the /media/comments edge limits writes to 60 writes per user per hour. Please refer to the Graph API’s rate limiting documentation for more information.
