Twitter “Rate Limit Exceeded” – How To See More Tweets | British News
Elon Musk, who acquired the platform last year, tweeted that temporarily limiting how many new tweets people can see or post was to “combat extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation.”

The final temporary step initially meant that verified accounts were limited to reading 6,000 posts per day, unverified to 600, and new unverified to 300.
Shortly after, Elon, 52, who is also CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, increased those to 10,000, 1,000 and 500 jobs, respectively, and it’s not yet clear when those restrictions will be lifted.
