They've had a notice at the top of https://www.instagram.com/developer/ since late last year.

>> Any app created before Nov 17, 2015 will continue to function until June 1, 2016. On that date, the app will automatically be moved to Sandbox Mode if it wasn't approved through the review process

Let's be real, after a project is finished, no developer is going to randomly keep watching the docs page of one of the probably many APIs they used for it.
But they also were emailing - I got like five emails for my personal projects warning me that things were changing. Plus it was reported in the tech press:

I'm really not sure what more people expect instagram to do.

We never got any emails from Instagram.
