X says you hit a rate limit

Too many actions in a set time

X caps how many posts, replies, messages and follows an account can make in a day or in shorter windows. When you reach a cap, an error tells you which limit you hit.

Is X (Twitter) down right now? Operational: 49 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.

Fix it

How to fix it

Read the error to see which limit you reached.
Wait until the time window has passed, which can take a few hours for post limits.
Use fewer third-party apps with your account, since their requests count toward your limits.
