Twitter has set temporary daily limits that allow verified users to read a maximum of 10,000 Twitter posts per day. Free users can read 1,000 tweets per day, while new free users can read 500 more tweets. According to Elon Musk, the limits are necessary to prevent large-scale data collection on the platform.
Twitter owner Elon Musk announced the daily limits himself on the platform. Initially, verified Twitter users could read up to 6,000 more Twitter messages per day. Free users could read a maximum of 600 tweets per day, while new accounts could view a maximum of 300 more tweets per day. These limits were later increased to 8,000 messages for verified users, 800 messages for free users, and 400 tweets for new free users, but are now set at a maximum of 10,000 Twitter messages for verified users, 1,000 messages for free users, and 500 messages for new users. free users. There is currently no daily limit for posting Twitter messages.
Musk wrote in the original announcement tweet that Twitter wants to deal with “extreme data collection and system manipulation” that would take place on the social media platform through this daily limit. However, he did not provide further details. The daily limits would be temporary. Musk did not say how long these limits will remain active.
On Friday it was announced that users who are not logged in will no longer be able to access the web version of Twitter for the time being. The platform has been asking non-logged-in users to log in since that day. Failure to do so will redirect these users to Twitter’s homepage. According to Elon Musk, this is also a temporary measure that was reportedly necessary to prevent the scrap against data.
To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:
– Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
– Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
– New unverified accounts to 300/day— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 1, 2023
