#RateLimit

Twitter imposes drastic tweet viewing limits, breaking user experience.

Origin & Impact

On July 1, 2023, Elon Musk announced sudden rate limits: unverified users could view only 600 tweets per day. Users encountered “rate limit exceeded” errors mid-scroll, effectively breaking Twitter’s core functionality. Musk blamed data scraping, but experts suspected infrastructure issues. The move drove users to explore alternatives like Bluesky and Mastodon, accelerating Twitter’s decline.
