When you see the message “Rate limit exceeded” on Twitter (now called X), it means you’ve hit the maximum number of actions allowed in a short time. This could include reading tweets, refreshing too often, or using too many API calls if you’re using third-party apps or tools.
Common reasons:
Scrolling or refreshing too much in a short period
Bots or auto tools triggering limits
Temporary system restrictions by X to reduce spam or server load
✅What to do:
Wait a bit (usually 15 minutes to 1 hour), then try again. Avoid excessive activity during short timeframes.
