A comment on the question "Tweet Limit Exceeded" in Twitter:

Status blog shows another increase--to 100 requests per hour. Fantastic! Am getting occasional time outs, but Twitterific is still otherwise running smoothly. – ecsalomon, on July 11, 2008 02:13

A comment on the question "Tweet Limit Exceeded" in Twitter:

Wow, I hope they're able to keep it at 70. I saw from the Twitter Development Google Group that they had initially raised it to 40 before raising it to 70. The last two maintenance downtimes must have allowed them to add more headroom. – mdy, on July 09, 2008 05:09

A comment on the question "Tweet Limit Exceeded" in Twitter:

I am seeing the same thing. I've had twitterific updating every three minutes for almost an hour and have gotten no errors. – ecsalomon, on July 09, 2008 04:53

Is it just me or has the API rate limit been raised to 70?!

It still says 20 in the Twitter Status blog but I'm seeing 70 on the rate_limit_status API call

Hello. The negative API rate limit behavior is currently logged as an open bug in the Twitter API bug tracking system.

Fwiw, the person who logged the bug says that when they change their user password, the problem gets fixed. I don't know if the fix is temporary or permanent, though.

I turned all clients off and removed the Twitter app from Facebook - then waited until the rate limit for my account reset to 20. I launced Tweetdeck and it successfully retrieved my Tweets...once. Upon checking the rate limit again, I've found it to be "-1" and it keeps counting into the negatives each time Tweetdeck tries to retrieve! - This only happens one of my accounts. The other account I have works just fine. So frustrating.

Twitter's API limit has a max number of requests per hour per user. Checkout the thread that Jay provided

UPDATE: As completely odd as this is, after changing my password yet again to no avail, I finally did lower the number of requests per hour and just left Twhirl on . . . and it eventually worked! I don't know why one request per day was being denied, and then lowering the limit allowed 30 per hour, but that's what happened. I haven't tried Netvibes again yet, partially because I don't really use Netvibes much anymore for anything. :D

I've been having this problem with any twitter client I've tried for the last couple of weeks now. I've throttled the requests down to the very lowest level to no avail. I was offline the whole weekend, and still came in yesterday and was immediately given the limit exceeded message. I tried changing my password, and that made no difference at all.

We have recently lowered the API request limit to 30 per hour as noted on status.twitter.com.

For clients like Twitterrific, this means you should reconfigure so that it does not refresh more than once every 2 minutes.

If you are using more than one client, you should make sure than in total they do not exceed 30 requests per hour.

@phlegon hmm, not sure what to tell you. You've changed it and restarted, or just changed it? Perhaps restarting Twhirl would help...What level did you set it at? Lower then 30?
