Twitter is currently facing a service disruption where some Android users are unable to access the platform due to a “Rate Limit Exceeded” message. However, iOS and desktop users can still use Twitter without any issues. This problem arises after Twitter implemented mandatory sign-in to view tweets, citing the need to address excessive data scraping that was burdening their servers, as stated by Twitter and Elon Musk.

According to the down detector, the issue began at 5:52 PM, but Twitter has not provided any official information regarding the cause of this problem. It is expected that Twitter will resolve this issue promptly.

A user reported that the error message advises waiting for a few moments before trying again.

If you encounter this issue, you can try the following solutions:

Solution #1: Wait for the Timeout In cases where your account usage is restricted, it is recommended to be patient and wait until the limitation is lifted. Take advantage of this time to relax, stretch, or engage in other activities. Usually, your account will be reinstated within a few minutes.

Solution #2: Reset Your Twitter Account Password If waiting for the account limit to expire is not feasible, some users have reported success by changing their Twitter account password. This action effectively resets the timer associated with the error. However, consider this solution only if you have exhausted other options.

Please note that these solutions are based on user experiences and may not guarantee an immediate resolution in all cases.
