Twitter is placing limits to what number of tweets its customers can learn because the Elon Musk-owned service suffers prolonged outage that has stymied customers’ potential to trace new posts.

In a tweet, Musk detailed the revised utilization quotas. Verified account holders can peruse a most of 6,000 posts each day, whereas unverified customers should cope with a drastically lowered restrict of 600 posts.

Newly registered, unverified customers face even tighter restrictions with an allowance of a mere 300 posts per day, in keeping with the Tesla and SpaceX chief govt.

Musk mentioned that Twitter is wrestling with “excessive ranges of information scraping” and “system manipulation.” These new constraints, he says, are important measure to curb these urgent points. Musk didn’t say who was scraping Twitter’s information — or how lengthy had the problem continued — nor did he elaborate the system manipulation declare.

The billionaire has beforehand expressed issues about information scraping at Twitter and prompt that he could take motion towards the dangerous actors. Musk was briefly outraged over Microsoft “illegally” utilizing Twitter’s information and threatened that it was “lawsuit time.”

The curb follows tens of hundreds of customers complaining on Saturday that Twitter was not populating their feeds with newer tweets. As an alternative, customers had been greeted with the “price restrict exceeded” error.

This isn’t the primary technical hiccup that Twitter has grappled with in latest months, neither is it the primary occasion of an unorthodox resolution being devised to carry the state of affairs collectively.

Earlier this week, Twitter began to limit entry to its platform for anybody not logged into an account.

The hiccup arrives at a time when social media large Meta is reportedly getting ready to launch its personal Twitter rival.
