What does this mean?? - ymcmb - 09-30-2012 11:12 AM
What does "rate limit exceed" mean?
I always go on twitter on my iPhone so before 2 days I went on twitter and it said "rate limit exceed" what does that exactly 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 Thanx

It is also known as 'Twitter jail'. There is a limit to how much you could tweet an hour, so dont tweet as much to stop it from happening just leave it for a few hours and it should be back to normal letting you tweet again. I think the reason they have it is to stop people spamming.
