Recently active topics in Twitter tagged with rate limit

I hit a Twitter limit; what does that mean, and what do I do?

After hitting the rate limit, instead of hitting the Twitter API to get messages, we thought it would be a good idea to get it from the RSS feed instead.

After some time, we stopped getting data from the RSS feeds too.

So, are the RSS feeds rate limited too? Should we consider sending a request for white-listing?

I haven't signed on with a twitter client for over a day now and my client still says that I've been paused. "Limit exceeded, paused 5 mins." I've tried multiple different clients. This has been happening now for about a week.

Hi!
I`m using twhirl for twitter and it regularly returns an error "Rate limit exceeded, retry in 5 min". It does this even if it is first time a day.
I`ve visited the page http://twitter.com/account/rate_limit... and it returns me the following
−
<hash>
<remaining-hits type="integer">-456</remaining-hits>
<hourly-limit type="integer">20</hourly-limit>
<reset-time type="datetime">2008-07-01T07:24:26+00:00</reset-time>
<reset-time-in-seconds type="integer">1214897066</reset-time-in-seconds>
</hash>

I`ve waited 10 min and refresh the page
−
<hash>
<remaining-hits type="integer">-608</remaining-hits>
<hourly-limit type="integer">20</hourly-limit>
<reset-time type="datetime">2008-07-01T07:24:26+00:00</reset-time>
<reset-time-in-seconds type="integer">1214897066</reset-time-in-seconds>
</hash>
Actually, I didn`t make any hits at all.
It seems like something is wrong with API functions.

I get this error when testing twitter API :
Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 30 requests per hour.
Should it be 70 requests per hour? it broke my application :(

I cannot receive updates on any twitter app. The site works fine for me, but I cannot get anything on twhirl, spaz, snitter, and now digsby. this is over a few weeks. I've now uninstalled adobe air, and digsby is the only twitter app installed. I don't know why its blocking me

Does deleting messages and direct messages via the api count towards the rate limit?

Hi there, I'm only able to update via web Twitter page or m.twitter.com, but all my Twitter apps are blocked (twhirl, twitterrific, Hahlo, etc.)

Since I'm always on the move this is driving me crazy. Could you please help me out of this situation or let me know what I should do to solve this issue quickly? Thanks in advance

I made one call to the Twitter API through a client yesterday and was immediately locked out for exceeding the request limit of 70 per hour. The lockout has lasted over 24 hours and I'm really frustrated.
