Even when my hit counter indicates 94 out of 100 hits remaining I get error messages when I try to favorite a tweet using Twitterrific on my iPhone. – walt, on August 15, 2008 01:07

Hello. The API limit is currently lowered to 20 requests per user per hour. That may explain why you're hitting the limit much earlier than expected.

You can use this API call to check the current rate limit and find out how many calls you have left for the current hour (your Twitter login required).

If you're just interested in the current API limit, you can find it at the Twitter Status blog. Just leave your mouse hovering over the word "API" in the sidebar and the tooltip will tell you what the current API limit is

Twitterific hits request max too fast even when requesting updates every 10 mins. Suggestions?

Does using the Facebook app for Twitter count towards my 70/hour limit? Twitterific gives me an error that I've tried to update too often even when I have set it to check every 10 minutes. Just this app alone shouldn't reach the 70 requests per hour limit so I'm wondering what else may cause this to happen.
