In File > Plug-In Manager, verify you are actually running the most recent version of the LR/Instagram plugin(0.6.1577). Make sure any old versions are removed from Plug-In Manager. It looks like this most recent version is trying to better handle Instragram's new user authentication protocol introduced in September (according ot the plugin author), which is causing these various errors.

Status code 408 ("Request Timeout") could be sent as the result of a number of conditions: The network connection to Instagram became very slow or unresponsive, there's a software problem at Instagram that caused its server to think the plugin or network was too slow, the plugin has a problem in sending a complete request to Instagram, or a problem in LR delayed the plugin from sending a complete request.

I recommend rebooting your LR, restarting your network router/modem, and if it still occurs, waiting a day to see if it's an Instagram problem that will clear up.  If at that point you still see it, contact the plugin developer at his Web site.
