If you’ve tried using Twitter, one of the largest social media platforms in the world, you might have encountered a problem. Currently, the platform receives an error message when people try to tweet: “You have exceeded the daily limit for sending tweets”. In this article, we’ll break down what it is.
You’ve exceeded your daily tweet limit, explained
First of all, it’s very unlikely that you’ve reached your tweet limit. Twitter has a daily limit, but it’s set at 2400 Tweets per day. You should have worked very hard to reach this limit. So it seems that the platform simply has some technical difficulties.
These problems are not uncommon since the platform became the property of Elon Musk. The need to downsize when advertisers abandoned the platform due to Musk’s somewhat cutthroat nature appears to have left the company short and with a growing list of pesky issues.
However, it must be said that problems on this scale have been quite rare. Right now it seems like a high percentage of Twitter users are getting this error, but there’s not much you can do but hang in there and wait for the Twitter techs to fix the problem. issue.
For the curious, you can find the current technical limits of the platform, as stated by Twitter themselvesbelow:
- Direct messages (daily): The limit is 500 messages sent per day.
- tweet: 2,400 per day. The daily update limit is divided into smaller limits for half-hour intervals. Retweets are counted as Tweets.
- Account Email Address Changes: 4 per hour.
- Monitoring (daily): The technical limit for tracking is 400 per day. This is simply a technical account limit, and there are additional rules that prohibit aggressive tracking behavior.
- Tracking (account based): Once an account follows 5,000 other accounts, subsequent follow attempts are limited by account-specific ratios.
