Twitter cuts its default rate limit from 350 to 175
- dustyreagan 16y agoJust like old times! :)
- fookyong 16y agothis kind of thing is the reason you can't base a business off Twitter (and expect to sleep soundly at night). make Twitter apps for fun. not for profit.
- ElbertF 16y agoMaking Twitter apps for profit is fine, just don't depend on it.
- po 16y agoIt is far better for twitter to rate limit the API to a level they can handle, than to get themselves into an unstable situation with fail-whales. The header says what the rate limit is so applications can adjust. They're also limiting their own apps so it's fair. I guess I don't understand why the default was set higher than they could handle in the first place.
