Reckon this stupidity will be reversed but wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't

not sure if i said this upthread but i suspect musk is just pretending with the new rate rules to cover for whats actually just a bug

Saying I exceeded my limit but I can still see some tweets, like this one.

I followed you immediately! I even followed Joe.

Oops. They are now having cascading failures. Rate limiting was clearly unintentional.

I can’t believe I still overestimate this dude.

yeah it’s not lookin good, decent chance that my last tweet is tweeting “I need a sugar daddy” at some bluecheck dipshit who insists that Musk has vastly improved the Twitter experience.
― JoeStork, Saturday, 1 July 2023 21:01 (ten months ago) link
Shocked the limiting announcement didn't include 'blue checks don't count against views' - like, an actual reason for people (who want their posts seen) to subscribe to Twitter Blue instead of a measure that actively diminishes how often they're seen?

Oh right, makes sense

Fwiw I think the google bill is unlikely to be the culprit. They use google cloud for some internal systems. Twitter dot com runs on prem.

Unexpected behavior or bugs triggered by truly massive changes to the api being shipped on a holiday weekend seems more likely https://waxy.org/2023/07/twitter-bug-causes-self-ddos-possibly-causing-elon-musks-emergency-blocks-and-rate-limits-its-amateur-hour/

its a very silly idea that web scrapping no matter how EXTREME could constitute a significant portion of a huge site like twitters traffic
― lag∞n, Saturday, 1 July 2023 22:14 (ten months ago) link
yup
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Saturday, 1 July 2023 22:14 (ten months ago) link
i do like that phrase tho extreme web scraping might have to get into that
― lag∞n, Saturday, 1 July 2023 22:16 (ten months ago) link
it’s very easy to throttle at a limit where it creates negligible load. that’s who’s it’s worked for 15 years. Presumably musk just feels like this is his data and there should be literally zero scraping load. So he asked his h1bs to ship api changes that break basically every client in a way that causes load to explode. genius stuff.

*how it’s worked
lol it’s back for me but my feed is mostly just people tweeting the numbers 1 to 600

still down for me but ive been able to look at tweets from by bot accounts the whole time
― lag∞n, Saturday, 1 July 2023 23:09 (ten months ago) link
I saw a few hundred tweets and then got rate limited again lol

lol is the “extreme web scraping” they’re seeing just their own web client firing off hundreds of requests due to a bug?

I hate that a musky loser was able to destroy something that, despite all the shit, was providing us with rapid news, a way to organize quickly, a place for mutual aid and a chance to form communities. I mean - of course it was always going to happen, but still.— âpihtawikosisân (@apihtawikosisan) July 1, 2023

Whatever you've done is hurting genuine users and is having a negative knock-on effect to verified users.My followers can't like my tweets because they've hit a limit of liking.See how mad that is? You've actually stopped folk being able to express their positive feelings.— Hedgehog Cabin (@HedgehogCabin) July 1, 2023

Yeah, I think they paused it because they had an overwhelming rush of people signing up, for some reason.
