I've just started using Twitterfox with Flock, and this evening it seems to not be working properly: the logo in the status bar has gone red and the tooltip says "Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 70 requests per hour". When I click on the logo to bring up the Twitterfox box, no tweets are showing.

Twitterfox is set to check for tweets every 3 minutes, so I'm not sure how it's making more than 70 requests per hour - but I did also have this issue when I was using Twitterific.

If it helps, I'm using Tiger 10.4.11.

Help!

I love Twitter and use it all the time, but I seem to have gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. Something is connecting to Twitter as me and using up all my API connections so that I'm not actually able to connect from any of the clients I regularly use (Twhirl, Twitterific). I can connect fine through the web at twitter.com or on hahlo.com from my iPhone.

There doesn't seem to be any way that I could find to get a list of which apps are authenticating as me and/or to block them. I'm not really sure how to resolve this since I can't figure out what's causing the problem. Hope you can help! I want my Twitter action back.

When I mark something as a favorite i get a "bad request error" Everything else works though. When I check at http://www.twitter.com/account/rate_l... I have not used all my requests. (which makes sense, as I can still refresh just fine.) This started happening about 2 days ago.

My account, hdesign, doesn't seem to be working. I can't even access the twitter home page from either a mac or pc. I went to a different computer that's never visited twitter and can get the home page, but as soon I try login, I get a 404 error. It's like I've been blacklisted.

I can access twitter via mobile web browser.

Twitterific 3.1 isn't working either.

What did I do?
