Instagram Rate Limit

Are the endpoint-specific rate limits per access token, or for app period. Lets say I have 100 users of the app, (100 different access tokens) that make a relationship post request, is that not going to work? Or is it 60 requests max per user of the app, and no more than 5000 total requests from the app every hour..

Each user can make total of 5000/hr API calls, POST API calls have different limits like relationship POST call has 60/hr. There is no limit for the app, each access_token (user) has a limit.

Update: As jhm pointed out, this limit has been reduced from 5000/hr to 200/hr as of April 1, 2018.
