They lowered some of the rate limits last night to the point where it was very easy to hit them. Seems like they kept doing that, but broke something, because my timeline says I exhausted my allocation of 900 hits to the API and I have to wait about a full day before I can try again.

My app doesn't load any tweets at all. Just get generic, can't retrieve tweets try again later.

I get a generic "Something went wrong" error on web* but with dev tools open I can see it's getting 429 Too Many Requests with responses that say "rate limit exceeded". The app might not have been coded to show a rate limit error, maybe.

*except search, which does actually pop up a message saying I'm rate limited.

Yeah I have something went wrong on the web and rate limit exceeded on the app

Huh, I'm seeing 'rate limit exceeded' in the warning popup on Chrome on macos.
