Twitter limits number of tweets users can see each day

BLOOMBERG

Twitter is imposing a temporary cap on the number of tweets that accounts can see each day, a move that sparked backlash from some users.
Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted that unverified users will be able to view as many as 600 posts daily while Twitter Blue subscribers can see 6,000 posts “to address extreme levels of data scraping” and “system manipulation.” He later added the limits will be increased to 800 and 8,000 respectively, without specifying how long the limits will last.
About five hours later, Musk revised the limits again, increasing the number to 1,000 for unverified accounts and 10,000 for verified users.
Users started reporting issues accessing the social media site, after they received notifications that they had exceeded their “rate limit.” The number of reports peaked at nearly 7,000 at around 11:30 am in New York before declining, according to Downdetector.
Following Musk’s announcement on the limits, the site’s trending topics was dominated by complaints, with users posting about “#TwitterDown” and “RIP Twitter.”
