Why Twitter Showing ‘rate limit exceeded’ and what does it mean?
Why my twitter saying rate Limit exceeded
Elon Musk’s latest Twitter update is likely to face some backlash as he continues to make changes to the platform he acquired. In a tweet on Saturday evening, Musk revealed that users would now have temporary limits on the number of tweets they can view per day.
According to the announcement, verified accounts will be restricted to 6,000 posts per day, while unverified accounts will only be able to read 600 posts. New unverified accounts will face an even stricter limit of 300 posts.
What does ‘rate limit exceeded’ mean on Twitter?
Musk stated that Twitter implemented these limits to address the escalating issue of data scraping and system manipulation. He expressed concern over numerous organizations aggressively scraping Twitter data, negatively impacting the user experience. Additionally, he has expressed discontent with AI companies like OpenAI utilizing Twitter’s data to train their language models.
Users encountering the “rate limit exceeded” message are being prevented from viewing new tweets, posting their own tweets, and even sending direct messages (DMs). Verified accounts, including those subscribed to Twitter Blue, will have the privilege of viewing up to 6,000 posts.

Existing unverified accounts will reach their limit after 600 posts, and new unverified accounts will only have access to 300 posts. However, Musk later tweeted that these rates would soon increase to 8,000, 800, and 400, respectively.
While Musk referred to this update as a “temporary measure” on Twitter, he did not specify the duration of this restriction.
