Rate limit exceeded Twitter meaning: What is rate limit exceeded on Twitter?

On Saturday, July 1, 2023, Elon Musk tweeted that Twitter users would have a temporary limit placed on the number of tweets they could view in a day.

Verified accounts were limited to 6,000 posts a day, Unverified accounts could read 600 posts a day, with new unverified accounts limited to just 300.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO said Twitter had imposed the ‘temporary limit’ to ‘address extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation’.

He explained that he set a view limit because “we are all Twitter addicts and need to go outside.”

The reason I set a “View Limit” is because we are all Twitter addicts and need to go outside.

I’m doing a good deed for the world here.

Also, that’s another view you just used.

What is rate limit exceeded on Twitter?

A basic understanding is that Twitter users will only be able to scroll so far before they hit their daily limit.

In an update, he said rate limits would soon increase to 8,000 for verified users, 800 for unverified and 400 for new unverified. About three hours later, Musk tweeted, “Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k.”

Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k

Musk said in his original tweet that the change is temporary and was put in place to “address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation.” It’s the latest widespread outage since he acquired the social media site late last year.
