You can handle any exceptions using a generic handler:

from instagrapi import Client
from instagrapi.exceptions import (
    BadPassword, ReloginAttemptExceeded, ChallengeRequired,
    SelectContactPointRecoveryForm, RecaptchaChallengeForm,
    FeedbackRequired, PleaseWaitFewMinutes, LoginRequired
)


def handle_exception(client, e):
    if isinstance(e, BadPassword):
        client.logger.exception(e)
        client.set_proxy(self.next_proxy().href)
        if client.relogin_attempt > 0:
            self.freeze(str(e), days=7)
            raise ReloginAttemptExceeded(e)
        client.settings = self.rebuild_client_settings()
        return self.update_client_settings(client.get_settings())
    elif isinstance(e, LoginRequired):
        client.logger.exception(e)
        client.relogin()
        return self.update_client_settings(client.get_settings())
    elif isinstance(e, ChallengeRequired):
        api_path = json_value(client.last_json, "challenge", "api_path")
        if api_path == "/challenge/":
            client.set_proxy(self.next_proxy().href)
            client.settings = self.rebuild_client_settings()
        else:
            try:
                client.challenge_resolve(client.last_json)
            except ChallengeRequired as e:
                self.freeze('Manual Challenge Required', days=2)
                raise e
            except (ChallengeRequired, SelectContactPointRecoveryForm, RecaptchaChallengeForm) as e:
                self.freeze(str(e), days=4)
                raise e
            self.update_client_settings(client.get_settings())
        return True
    elif isinstance(e, FeedbackRequired):
        message = client.last_json["feedback_message"]
        if "This action was blocked. Please try again later" in message:
            self.freeze(message, hours=12)
            # client.settings = self.rebuild_client_settings()
            # return self.update_client_settings(client.get_settings())
        elif "We restrict certain activity to protect our community" in message:
            # 6 hours is not enough
            self.freeze(message, hours=12)
        elif "Your account has been temporarily blocked" in message:
            """
            Based on previous use of this feature, your account has been temporarily
            blocked from taking this action.
            This block will expire on 2020-03-27.
            """
            self.freeze(message)
    elif isinstance(e, PleaseWaitFewMinutes):
        self.freeze(str(e), hours=1)
    raise e

cl = Client()
cl.handle_exception = handle_exception
cl.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)

In this way, you can centrally handle errors and not repeat handlers throughout your code.
