i recently updated the chrome browser version to 87. is that problem?

No, updating the browser is not an issue. Its independent of that.
You are facing an issue with regex, so I suggest to give this StackOverflow question a look and tweak the code accordingly.
Btw, the image gets downloaded successfully.

i am using this code with posts links

for link in links:
if post in link and link not in post_links:
request_image = requests.get(link)
src = request_image.content.decode('utf-8')
check_type = re.search(
r'<meta name="medium" content=['"]?([^\'" >]+)', src)
check_type_f = check_type.group()
final = re.sub('<meta name="medium" content="', '', check_type_f)
if final == "video":
pass
else:
post_links.append(link)
if len(post_links) == 9: # count number of photo posts to be downloaded
for link in post_links:
print(link)
idx = post_links.index(link)+101
download_image_video(idx, link, account)

i am getting this error after 140 links...it works again after 2 days. again the same happend

I cannot say why you are getting this error. Everything is working fine on my end.

And btw there is a tool called InstaPy. Use that it will reduce you effort of getting every single link for images and stuff as you seems like to be downloading all the images from a single page.
