Twitter encountered issues on July 1, as users received a ‘rate limit exceeded’ message when trying to refresh their feed. The problem affected both the app and the website. CEO Elon Musk stated that the company introduced temporary limits on the number of posts users can view daily. These issues were widespread, with #Twitterdown and RIP Twitter trending on the platform. The rate limit exceeded message signifies reaching the maximum number of posts one can view in a day. The limits vary for verified and unverified accounts, with unverified accounts having more restrictive limits. Musk tweeted that the limits were imposed to address data scraping and system manipulation. The temporary limits are set to expire on August 1. However, Musk’s plans for the future of Twitter remain unclear.
