Ok little pet peeve of mine: Every other time I hit some arbitrary Twitter limits of a post and 5 minutes later I can access it. At this point I believe it is to bully me into an account or using the app or something. I have a bunch of profanities in reply to this.

Are you using Firefox on Android? Using that I almost always get the rate limit error. Never seen it otherwise.

  woah, for real? I thought I must've done something real shady in the past but now that you mention it , I have the same exact issue. what gives?

    Just a dark pattern to force people into using the app instead.

  I get the limit in Android with both Chrome and Firefox. All the time.

  You can bypass this by using the 'Request Desktop Site' checkbox. Ironically, requesting the desktop site uses more bandwidth, defeating the purpose of a rate limit.

    Resubmitting the url without the 'mobile' subdomain also works for me every time for some reason. Same setup setup with Firefox on Android. It's infuriating.

I have the same issue on Chrome on Android and I always reload the page (not the Twitter reload button), which always seem to work for me. I don't know if they do this on purpose, but it does make you wonder. I do not want the Twitter-app on my phone.

  Indeed, reloading the page seems to work for me. Seems like an intentional dark pattern to force people to register and download the app.

Yeah I get the rate limited error every time. I think Twitter just marks anyone not using the app as a bot

Twitter for mobile (web) is filled with dark patterns like these. They do everything in their power to make you download their app, including limiting and/or sabotaging features that would obviously work on any web browser. For example, you can see someone's tweets but you can't click on the mentions or media tabs. Search is downright unusable. Try searching for something and scrolling to the top to get the latest results. I know I make no difference at all for the folks at Twitter, but they certainly lost me as a loyal user after witnessing such shady practices.
