What does it mean!? ??? - ymcmb - 10-03-2012 05:51 AM
What does "rate limit exceed" mean?
I always go on twitter on my iPhone so before 3 days I went on twitter and it said "rate limit exceed" what does rate limit exceed mean? How long do I have to wait so I could go on twitter again? How do I not make it say that again? Btw now when I go on twitter all it says is "rate limit exceed" and I can't go on it and I've been waiting for 3 days how long do I have to wait? Thanx

If you use up all your allowed API calls within an hour, you will see the message "Rate limit exceeded" in the bottom right-hand corner of TweetDeck and will be unable to make any more calls until your API allowance is reset for the next hour.
When this happens, you can still continue to send tweets, but TweetDeck will not be able to update with new tweets received in All Friends, Replies or Direct Messages. Search columns will still continue to update though. You can switch to the Twitter website, http://www.twitter.com, to continue checking replies until your API calls reset.
If you are continually hitting the API rate limit we suggest the following:
Only ever run one Twitter application at a time as they use the same 350 API calls. Ensure that other applications are closed. Resist the urge to continually press the refresh button as each time you refresh it uses 3 API calls (All Friends, Replies & DMs).Try lowering the total % in the settings window, twitter API tab to around 60-70% - you'll get less frequent updates but you'll use less API. If you do get the rate limit exceeded message then make a note of your reset time shown in the top right corner of TweetDeck, TweetDeck will not get any updates until this time. You can continue to tweet however you won't see any responses. Also if you do get the rate limit exceeded message, close down your twitter applications and then reopen then at the reset time.
