What does the price limit mean on Twitter?

Twitter users receiving this message have reached the maximum number of tweets they can read or scroll past.

Initially, Musk said that verified accounts can read 6,000 posts per day, while unverified accounts can read 600 posts per day and new unverified accounts only 300. for unverified accounts and 400 for new unverified accounts.

Musk did not indicate when the borders might expire.

The restrictions caused great frustration and surprise among Twitter users. Suddenly they get messages like “Rate limit exceeded” or “Something went wrong. Try reloading.”

It doesn’t take long to hit rate limits when scrolling through tweets and replies, even for verified users. Users can tweet themselves, often complaining about the new restrictions, but other users may not be able to read these posts.
