Twitter starts limiting how many tweets you can post per day
- rmm 4y agoI am getting errors on a number of sites. Is this a twitter only problem or something bigger?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- eat_veggies 4y agoI think they're having an incident. I can't follow people, post, or load messages right now.
- postingawayonhn 4y agoI never post tweets, but I did try to follow someone and got an error.
- dzhiurgis 4y agoSame here - can't post.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- samb1729 4y agoLikewise! I thought I had been randomly banned before finding this post.
- lrae 4y agoSounds like they tried to restrict and killed an/their own ("unofficial") API, and shot themselves into the foot.
- TillE 4y agoDefinitely the kind of mistake that gets made after losing an enormous fraction of your institutional knowledge.
- rndgermandude 4y agoSure. Or it could just the kind of mistake that is being made all the time. I remember for example facebook taking itself offline[0], or cloudflare taking itself offline[1]. And of course pre-Musk twitter is well known itself to regularly have had significant incidents. This new twitter incident could well be a result of layoffs and the resulting loss of institutional knowledge, but that's hardly a foregone conclusion.

- grumple 4y agoThey've pretty obviously had an increase in service problems since the culling. Most services this size very rarely have outages. You had to go back to 2021 for facebook. Twitter has had several major outages since Musk's purchase.
- cameronh90 4y agoTwitter also has made a lot of changes in the past few months. I don't recall a time in recent history where they've made so many changes so rapidly. Arguably not all for the better but "move fast and break things", right?
- fomine3 4y agoMove fast for no reason is stupid
- sangnoir 4y agoTwitter had a code freezenfrom the time of culling until January roughly. They appeared to make a lot of changes due to botched launches, e.g. they released checkmarks for sale, reversed it and re-released it. Does that count as 3 changes, or one half-baked one?
- peterhil 4y agoI can’t post, retweet or follow. Loading Tweets work.
- outworlder 4y agoSame, can't follow, it will say that I've reached the follower limit. Checked documentation, not even close.
- radicalbyte 4y agotweetdeck.twitter.com is down with an auth error - they've YOLO'd themselves to death.
- lamontcg 4y agoI've posted two replies in the past 3 days (which is towards the high end of my use) and I'm limited. I think this is a write/posting outage/incident. Firing everyone seems to be working out well for stability.
- jeffbee 4y agoYes it's clearly an outage and seems to effect not only posting but also notifications (not getting any) and DMs (I can't even load my DM page).
- kimbernator 4y agoI tried to tweet today for the first time in weeks and it said I had hit the limit.
- nkozyra 4y agoLuckily, 0 is also my personal limit for tweets these days.
- VWWHFSfQ 4y agoI haven't tweeted in months and just tried it: > You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets. What absolute shitshow is going on at Twitter?
- wongarsu 4y agoA full tweet would be many times your personal daily average. We can't have you suddenly start spamming. (/s)
- hackernewds 4y agoStarting today a lot of people are seeing "You cannot follow more people at this time" firing the folx who run the ship seems to be going swell
- ldjb 4y ago
- psikomanjak 4y agoso pay to tweet from now on?
- klyrs 4y agoHopefully they'll charge to read 'em too
- jyriand 4y agoThis must be a divine intervention. I was just about to tweet some insomniac crazy tweets and got an error.
- anyfoo 4y agoWhenever you are about to post something, anywhere in general, ask yourself: Why? What are you trying to get out of that? Are you adding meaningful information? Are you trying to advance a particular cause (which can just be a small personal one, but at least any cause at all)? Note that I'm obviously not saying any online discourse is for naught. But during and after your "social media experience", for lack of a better term, do you feel better or worse, and if not better, did you at least accomplish something?
- jyriand 4y agoUsually I don’t post random stuff. But haven’t slept for a few days because of stomach flu, feeling like a drunk, and this inhibits my judgment.
- gardenhedge 4y agoHope you get some sleep soon!
- anyfoo 4y agoUnderstandable, sleep deprivation sucks.
- rootusrootus 4y agoAlso "What do I hope the reader will get from what I post?" But you have to then be honest about the answer to that. Especially if religious or political conversion is what you hope they get.
- delecti 4y agoConversely, as long as you're not someone who regularly finds yourself being a jerk, it's okay to just experience social interactions. Most of my internet posting could accurately be described as "shooting the shit", and I feel okay about that.
- mjmsmith 4y agoBlue checkmarks are posting 4k tweets and using up all the characters.
- leviathant 4y agoI'm seeing this accidental glimpse into a future where the only content on Twitter is paid content as a gift. I've had trouble quitting Twitter, but it looks like Twitter's got no problem quitting me. DMs are erroring for me, and the Android native app just tweets into the void. This issue seems to be roughly aligned with the announcement that paid accounts will have a 4000 character limit. As expected, status.twitter.com suggests Twitter is, in green-colored text, operational.
- rsynnott 4y ago> As expected, status.twitter.com suggests Twitter is, in green-colored text, operational. As is well-known, no service will ever switch its status page to red unless people moan about it on Twitter first. So, well, you can see the problem.
- runlevel1 4y agoSome companies are a lot more transparent than others. The last couple places I've worked had no such red tape (pun intended I guess).
- alfalfasprout 4y agoA lot of non-knowledgable folks expected twitter to immediately collapse after firing half their engineers. Instead, this is what that kind of failure looks like. Functionality starts to become flaky, some non operational entirely. You can't rely on the status page anymore. Innovation rapidly plateaus. Quality of service suffers on the whole. Rome didn't fall in a day.
- __mharrison__ 4y agoJust hit this and felt like I had a existential crisis... Did Musk finally takedown Twitter?
- reb 4y ago"Free speech maximalist"
- ncr100 4y agoShould be rewritten ".. minimalist", by inspection.
- r00fus 4y agoPerhaps he meant he's a free speech maxi-pad?
- smrtinsert 4y ago[flagged]
- webworker 4y agoI guess I'm glad I still have my static blog website (that I also use as a microblog if the occasion fits)
- dvh 4y agoWhat is the limit? Article doesn't say.
- sli 4y agoThe error people are getting links to this page: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-limits https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-limit... tl;dr: * 500 DMs (yes, direct messages) * 2400 tweets * 4 account email changes * 400 follows * Additional restrictions once an account following 5000 people total
- dmatech 4y agoThat's been the limit since sometime between November 29 [1] and December 13 [2]. The daily tweet limit has been 2400 since at least 2018-01-03 [3].

- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoOh, cool, so it will effect bots and a couple people who could use the corrective nudge. Thanks for that.
- marcinzm 4y agoBased on other comments this isn't the actual limit (ie: it's much lower) or the current implementation is broken.
- adamrezich 4y agostarting a few minutes ago: - twitter prevented me from posting any more tweets "for the day" - "#facebookdown" started trending on twitter - "#instagramdown" started trending on twitter all of this happening around the House hearing. curious.
- kneebonian 4y agoWhat house hearing? Sorry I seem to be out of the loop?
- numpad0 4y agoIn another part of the world, people are being curious how it precisely coincided with Nintendo Direct show (of all things). That could be a wrong kind of curiosity.
- izzygonzalez 4y agoIt’s an error. You can get around the limit by scheduling a tweet a minute into the future or using the API to tweet/reply.
- navanchauhan 4y agoI am not sure how long the API will last. They have already said that they will be limiting the usage of the free API to "good bots"
- ncr100 4y agoOoo good find. Sounds like the clock for rate-limiting is improperly centralized, in my speculation.
- onion2k 4y agoYou can if you want to. Nothing I tweet is important enough to bother. If it doesn't come back I just won't post any more. Just like millions of other people.
- zymhan 4y ago> I am using ModernDeck 2 as Twitter client Isn't Twitter banning 3rd party clients?
- Flozzin 4y agoI can't follow or tweet using their official website(twitter.com).
- jabroni_salad 4y agoModerndeck runs on top of tweetdeck, which is first party.
- evrflx 4y agoI could not add a new follow with the Twitter app on iOS. Message was that I reached a limit. First time I really felt a change since Twitter moved. Strange feeling to be limited for no reason and anticipating the future with payment required for everything.
- taytus 4y agoThis just happened to me! And I’m following fewer than 900 people.
- squegles 4y agoThere is an incident for sure. Cant tweet unless you schedule it. Cant follow any new accounts.
- code51 4y agoAre you serious Twitter? In the middle of an earthquake disaster in Turkey where people try to collect list of people alive under the rubble?
- kimbernator 4y agoSounds like Turkey blocked twitter anyways
- code51 4y agoIt's back on now (mostly)
- sillysaurusx 4y agoIn Turkey? That’s interesting. I wonder what changed. Where’d you learn about that?
- code51 4y agoPeople pressured for Twitter to open. Prominent figures on live TV mentioned this as well, loud and clear.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- nolok 4y agoDoesn't matter, Erdogan just blocked Twitter again because people were asking why was the government not being competent and where were the funds from the special earthquake relief tax.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- rejectfinite 4y agoTwitter is not really the platform for that type of organizing. They are 100% on Whatsapp though. There is always going to be something happening somewhere also.
- alpb 4y agoThis is 100% in response to Turkey banning twitter in the middle of earthquake response, and Elon Musk bowing down to the terms of the authoritarian government. Instead of applying it locally, they applied it globally.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoI wish I was surprised at the pettiness that seeing Twitter clearly having some internal issue - the willingness of people who consider themselves adults to drink it up as hate fuel against the bad man they think switched "teams".
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- sumeno 4y agoImagine the most incompetent and yet overconfident person you've ever worked with. Imagine them taking full credit for everything they've worked on despite making the people they work with miserable. For some reason people love them despite the fact they are an obvious fraud. Now imagine the satisfaction you would get when they very publicly reveal that they aren't a super genius, just a huge rich asshole. This is why people are enjoying the Musk Twitter saga.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoI don’t believe that’s true. For a couple hundred people maybe. Let’s be honest, Hate is a team sport now.
- pessimizer 4y agoImagine this level of obsession with a celebrity. Musk is not your bully at work.
- sumeno 4y agoIt takes a high level of obsession for me to read an article about Musk on HN and say "lol"

- mholt 4y agoI've tweeted once today. I'm now over the limit for sending tweets. (I pay for Twitter Blue)
- shaunxcode 4y agoworking as intended
- sangnoir 4y agoSomewhere on a Twitter dashboard, a graph for revenue/tweet is showing hockey-stick growth.
- 1270018080 4y agoI think someone pushed the wrong thing to prod.
- l_s_ 4y agodid he try restarting the server?
- partiallypro 4y agoThis isn't because of some policy, it's some sort of error. I can't even post on an account (via the app) I haven't been active in in months but unlike the web browser it simply fails. DMs also don't load.
- janoc 4y agoI have just received the "You are over the daily limit of sending tweets" message. Sent three (!) tweets today. Couldn't think of a better way to kill the user retention and engagement. Well done, Twitter!
- m3kw9 4y agoWhat’s the limit? Depending on that it could increase signal to noise. It would only affect accounts that is at tail end of the bell, ie bots and some extreme accounts that usually annoys the crap out of me. Let’s wait for the official before pouncing
- rcarmo 4y agoIt would be hilarious if Twitter used a footgun to disable API access and blocked itself. The deadline was this week, right?
- VWWHFSfQ 4y agoI believe that they have a number of internal systems that were relying on the ability to consume the public API "firehose" and now that it's been turned off, they're failing.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- anticensor 4y agoThat smells like a big antipattern.
- throwaway290 4y agoDogfooding is an antipattern now?
- ShinTakuya 4y agoNo it's the opposite, it's exactly what you should do to exercise your public API. If your API isn't good enough for you it isn't good enough for your external integrators.

- TaylorAlexander 4y agoDMs still down for me
- LoveMortuus 4y agoStrange... for some reason, I don't mind not being able to tweet, it's like Twitter is trying to tell me to not waste my time~
- boastful_inaba 4y agoTweetdeck is also down if you're set to the non-preview interface, stuck in a loop of login and instant logouts. The Tweetdeck Preview works (and you can access this by clearing all cookies) but keeps hitting a rate limit. I hope the rumors of TweetDeck becoming a premium feature are not true - I could never hope to catch everything without use of all those columns at once.
- sombragris 4y agoCan confirm. "Legacy" TweetDeck is unreachable. "Preview" TweetDeck works... sorta. It's slow as molasses and it's a torture to use it on an i7 laptop with 16 GB RAM and an SSD. I can't imagine how that would be in a 4GB Celeron craptop.
- partiallypro 4y agoWasn't working earlier, now it appears to be working now. I saw a rumor this morning that they were making TweetDeck Blue only, and I wonder if some sort of Twitter update regarding that move broke things.

- cm2187 4y agoProbably part of the settlement with the SEC to limit Musk's tweeting.
- lukaesch 4y agoFacebook, Instagram, Shopify, Fox have incidents right now. Interesting how many here took early conclusions, especially many writing that it’s the fault of Elon.
- louthy 4y agoThe article is about Twitter. So it’s really not that “interesting”, it’s literally the point of this discussion thread.
- threeseed 4y agoYou're making an early conclusion. Which is that there is a common thread between Facebook, Instagram, Shopify, Fox and Twitter that doesn't cause outages at lots of other sites like a network link down or routing table misconfiguration would cause.
- beders 4y agoThere has always been a limit. Especially with replies. I recall the XBox support team having to juggle 8 or more different handles to get around that limitation.
- CaptWillard 4y agoIt was a temporary glitch/outage like we've seen countless times over the years, but by all means indulge in a moment of schadenfreude.
- itsoktocry 4y agoJust another glitch by the new, terrible management while implementing a new, terrible feature. Nothing to see here.
- AstixAndBelix 4y agoFinally Twitter is going in the right direction. Less spam, less fakes and monetizing from people who earn from your platform.
- riffraff 4y agoFunny, I got the limit error for today, and I posted a single tweet. The quality of Twitter's launches has visibly gone downhill.

- pessimizer 4y agoMusk is trying to kill his users?
- ivanvanderbyl 4y agoAs of today I'm getting a message saying that I can't follow more people. I'm only following ~2000 people and have more followers than following. I've tried unfollowing a number of accounts but still can't follow more. Twitter is starting to feel very broken in ways that seem counter productive to growth and daily usage.
- sdfhbdf 4y agoWell it seems like a typical message for anti-DDoS rate-limiting, probably something incorrectly started attributing the clock or counter for ratelimiting.
- paulpauper 4y ago2400 tweets it has always been this way, afik. That is a lot of tweets. Who is going to tweet that often in a day?
- wrldos 4y agoI wish Twitter was publicly traded right now. I need some excitement in my life.
- ccn0p 4y ago[flagged]
- ccn0p 4y agoDoes anybody downvoting want to add a reasoning? I guess most people didn't see how censorial the previous regime of Twitter became over time.
- Barrin92 4y agoPretty straight forward. Townsquares are owned by the public, not by mentally unstable billionaires. On townsquares people make laws concerning conduct democratically through their representatives. Any townsquare would escort people from any venue if they behaved half as crazy as the average banned twitter user. Musk buying himself a media company because he was upset by what he read about himself in the news isn't "creating a healthy townsquare". It's letting the arkham asylum inmates loose on his newfound political enemies.
- ccn0p 4y agoNo it's not straightforward. This isn't a literal physical town square, obviously. This is a platform in which a major type of online discourse takes place that has carved a pretty significant and influential place in history, no matter what happens to it. "escorting people off of it" needs to be taken extremely seriously, with transparency, and with a clear separation from those that set our federal and state policy. This wasn't happening as now proven by the trove of Twitter files.
- PKop 4y agoThink you're just missing the obvious: much of the tech scene is simply not pro-neutrality or pro-free speech, they are pro their specific values having dominance and anti any platforming of counter discourse. This is actually more true of everyone in general than many think, it is just that left of center social/cultural values are ascendant in all big corps and tech cos so any challenge to that is going to generate a big push back from those supportive of the status quo.
- jmull 4y agoHmm... It's interesting that it's not particularly clear whether this is a failure or policy change. Twitter's intentional changes don't look a whole lot different than outages. (And their communication is so poor we can't tell from that either.)
- NoPicklez 4y agoI think its pretty clear that its a failure, either due to a bug or an incorrect policy change. Some people haven't been able to tweet at all.
- empressplay 4y agoYou can tweet if you schedule it > 1 minute into the future
- dom96 4y agoShameless plug: I created a browser extension to help transition to Mastodon[0]. If you don't yet feel like you can leave twitter.com, but want to explore alternatives it's a great way to get started. Essentially it injects Mastodon posts into your Twitter timeline, so you can retain your existing Twitter following while getting exposed to Mastodon.

- aaroninsf 4y agoMusk is just fascist lite Michael Scott now.
- anigbrowl 4y ago$1 per tweet doesn't sound so silly any more :D
- spion 4y agoTitle should probably be changed to: "Twitter has a rate limiting bug"
- anigbrowl 4y agoRather than start a new thread, I'll just mention that Twitter revised its API policy changes (the relevance to this thread should be obvious): https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1623467615539859456 https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1623467615539859456 Key points: - Free API continues until Feb 13 instead of sunsetting tomorrow - $100 paid tier grants access to Ads API, which is where promotion and scheduling of Tweets happen. So this will become a necessary but minor expense for brands, influencers, and third parties that cater to them. - Free API access will continue to be available but users will be limited to 1500 tweets/month. This actually strikes me as a rational compromise that will bring in a few million $ a month in revenue with significantly disrupting the development/research/comedy bot ecosystem. Bad for spammers and shit-tier brands, both of whom deserve to suffer anyway.
- Aperocky 4y agoPaying for an API like that might make sense a few months ago. It makes no sense whatsoever seeing what twitter have become.
- suddenclarity 4y agoAs a regular lurker, Twitter hasn't really changed in the last few months besides launching a few new features and doing a fresh start on some banned accounts.
- omoikane 4y agoTwitter appears to be adopting a mindset of "move fast and break things", which includes testing in production. Some of the new features eventually turned out fine, but they definitely didn't get everything right on first try. The Twitter before last year seemed more careful about changes that could disrupt users and businesses, as is appropriate for a company with millions of users. The current Twitter don't seem to mind as much.
- INTPenis 4y agoI'm just curious but what is that unchanged state to you? Because I have a twitter account that I never use and I tried using it a few weeks ago only to be greeted by spam robots, malware robots, "sexy women" sending cryptic messages that want me to do something. I saw very little human engagement in my few minutes on twitter.
- anothernewdude 4y agoThis is basically turning them into a badly made blog
- sixstringninja 4y agoI was just replying to someone’s tweet and it kept failing. Not sure what is going on
- thrdbndndn 4y agoCan Musk please stop actively killing twitter already. I know people say just move away, but for certain communities (I'm not even talking about small communities: like in Japan, all the people from individuals to companies to artists post and only post all the updates on Twitter), Twitter is the only place to follow the news. I don't need anything fancy I just need it to work.
- imchillyb 4y agoFor want of an API the tweets were lost. For want of tweets the subscribers were lost. For want of subscribers the channel was lost. For want of a channel the platform-users were lost. For want of platform-users the platform was lost. And, all for the want of an API.
- philippejara 4y agohow can one possibly tweet more than 2400 times a day? Surely this cutoff was chosen because people do but...how do you even live your life outside twitter at that point? Bots I guess?
- ericmay 4y agoI was/am also getting an error when I try to follow other accounts.
- pigtailgirl 4y ago-- website just gives me error "This community is not accessible because you are in South Korea." - what they got against South Korea?? --
- robjan 4y agoAlso get this issue in HK
- projektfu 4y agoIs there a version of this which shows a plan like in The Producers, where Elon appears, in good faith, to ruin Twitter until it goes bankrupt, absolving him of having to pay them back?
- pyuser583 4y agoTwitter just told me I’m not allowed to follow more people. No real reason why.
- amatecha 4y agoI ran into that as well. Despite having used the platform since 2007, I was unable to follow more than 5000 users (also despite having ~1400 followers). Considering the platform has some hundreds of millions of monthly active users, it was completely mind-boggling to me that I can't follow more than ~5000. Especially when you consider how many official orgs like local police, fire, emergency, road/traffic, news, school district, companies you are interested in, bands you like, etc... it's basically inevitable to hit that limit, especially after having used the service for 15+ years.

I only noticed because it didn't have the constant "(20)" text injected in the titles for once (I never look at that tab anymore because it's always "recommended tweets" spam and it immediatelly fills it with more notifications if I open it to clear the number).

- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- eyelidlessness 4y agoThey started limiting how many people I could follow in a day. Very suddenly today. I could follow zero people at all, the one person I wanted to follow was too many. For no apparent reason. They linked me to a 2019 policy explaining this, and none of the reasons listed apply. I just… can’t follow a person today for some reason.
- iambateman 4y agoTwitter is probably toast, which really is too bad. It was a huge source of joy and friendship and learning for me over the years. But stuff like this is leaving the door wide open for others to figure out how to do real time + video + micro blogging. Dear brilliant tech-obsessed entrepreneur…this could be you.
- papito 4y agoSeeing how Twitter was up for months while being proactively destroyed by an incompetent doofus, I would say this is a testament to solid resilience and scale engineering that was.
- heavymark 4y agoDitto yesterday after a few tweets. Assuming this is bug, as others have noted similar even with only two tweets. So one has to assume a bug, or perhaps some other issue where they felt they had to manually temporarily limit the number of tweets drastically to help avoid some larger failure. Ironically, I and most presumably wanted to post about but where unable to because of the nature of the bug.
- trimethylpurine 4y agoArticle replaces "Twitter" with "Elon Musk." Reads like comedy. "Elon Musk starts limiting how many tweets you can post per day." "I couldn't login to Elon Musk." This kind of idolatry makes me laugh, because people typically are unaware that they're doing it. Something about that is incredibly comical to me. Anyone else find this hilarious? I'm curious if there is some evolutionary purpose behind it. Being that it's subconscious behavior, I suspect there is.
