Twitter introduces rate limits, locking users out of the site

The troll meme merges with the Twitter logo

Elon Musk's Twitter 2.0 seems to be going well. As July started, a lot of users found Twitter unable to load, with many reporting an error message which said that the user had reached their "rate limit." Musk later announced that Twitter had started rate-limiting users in an apparent attempt to prevent "data scraping."

The initial limits seem to have been revised multiple times since then, but Twitter's rate limiting still seems to be active. Twitter Blue subscribers also seem to be rate limited, although not as badly as non-paying users.
