Note: Feb 13 is literally the day after the Super Bowl, which is relevant because:

> SCOOP: Elon has emailed staff following the Twitter outage.

> “Please pause for now on new feature development in favor of maximizing system stability and robustness, especially with the Super Bowl coming up.”

Judging by the quote-retweets, a lot of people think Twitter just announced you can only tweet 1500 times per month unless you pay $100/mo. (for all accounts, not automated)


To be fair, it's not like their messaging has been all that clear.

I've still no idea if/how my bots will be on Twitter in 4 days time. What does "a single authenticated user token" mean? One access token only per app? That'd be a bit of a bugger since my bots all share one app and I can't register any new ones because I'm not on the v2 API.


They just added a new limit on the number of times you can tweet per day (2400 tweets).
