That rate limit isn't about pay walls. It's just twitter's desire to force mobile users to use their app. Every single time a mobile user goes to a non-mobile Twitter url, they will hit that "error". Given that it's 100% reproducible, trivial to fix, and trivial to work around (hit reload. No wait needed), it's clear that they just don't want people to use their web browser on mobile devices.

Which is clearly user hostile. Reddit does a similar thing whwre they artificially delay showing thebpage and then block a quarter of it with a banner asking you to use the mobile app.
- chowells 8y agoOh, not the button it offers to try again. That button is junk. Hit reload on your browser. That works every time, at least in my experience.
- jimktrains2 8y agoYes, whats what I meant, ctrl+r
- ripdog 8y agoThe try again button works reliably for me on Firefox Mobile.
