Elon Musk’s Twitter 2.0 seems to be going well. As July started, a lot of users found Twitter unable to load, with many reporting an error message which said that the user had reached their “rate limit.” Musk later announced that Twitter had started rate-limiting users in an apparent attempt to prevent “data scraping.”
The initial limits seem to have been revised multiple times since then, but Twitter’s rate limiting still seems to be active. Twitter Blue subscribers also seem to be rate limited, although not as badly as non-paying users.
Twitter begins limiting access to the platform
To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day- New unverified accounts to 300/dayJuly 1, 2023
