Not sure how this is difficult to understand I don’t think you understand how the platform works. I literally got rate limited after 20 minutes on twitter. It also includes THREADS which could easily take up your whole limit 5
Hi-res Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 I think it’s working again? Idk I’m too scared to scroll
More Than A Melody Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 3 hours ago, Dephira said: Read this sentence again and think about what "reading 600 tweets" actually means. Think about it. I promise you can get there If you open one viral tweet you're toast. It loads a bunch of the replies without scrolling, and just the fact that they loaded means twitter considers them "read." Replies + a promoted tweet + the "discover" feature they added, means that opening one viral tweet can use up 50 tweets of your total in one split second, even if you exit the tweet immediately after it loaded. Twitter also loads about 10/12 tweets instantly, counting them all whether you read them or not. If you open the app and immediately close it, you already lose 10/12 more. Same thing happens if you open someone's profile or likes and immediately close it. You can use up your entire tally of 600 tweets in as little as 5 minutes. 7

Very convincing honey. If you knew how API calls worked, you'd know 600 tweets is literally nothing. When you open the app, it will preload like 50 tweets. It doesn't matter if you haven't even scrolled at all. When you open a viral tweet, it will also preload tweets. If you search for something, it probably loads a good 50 tweets at once too. Once you start scrolling, add an automatic 50 new unread tweets. If you were to scroll for like 5 minutes on the app and open 5 viral tweets, you're going to reach the 600 limit. Read up on how these things work before ignorantly judging others as addicts. Edited July 2, 2023 by Sombre 12 2
DevinWylde Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 this sucks and is shitty but also... it's keeping me off of twitter, which is probably what's best for my mental health

BOOM! Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 For more than 12 hours now, absolutely nothing works for me, except for DMs i guess. TL is stuck and every time i try to refresh it says "cannot retrieve tweets at this time, try again later". Literally nothing works! I can't believe how dumb that ugly goblin is!!

Try it on web, it's working better like that at the moment.

[Dephira] No. You're a Twitter addict. Accept it. [/Dephira] I can't believe I got rate limited by a hit tweet. I was just reading the replies.

I’m over it atp and I’m not going to try to do some alternative method like what made Twitter good is the users, the engagement already took a huge hit when E*** took over, there’s no reason to continue using it if 50% of users still can’t access it
cockatoo Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Not really on twitter very much anymore so only just catching up with this but the whole thing is wild Every wrong decision Elon can make he does.
Thorn Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Is he not going to rectify this decision? I need an alternative real quick, I want to live the Speak Now release week to the fullest.
