Twitter has been having some problems lately. Within just a few months of Elon Musk taking over as “Chief Twit” in October, he fired more than half of the company’s almost 7,500 staffers, tried out a disastrous new blue checkmark system, and lost over 40% of revenue from Twitter’s top 30 advertisers within a few months.
But the hits just keep coming, and on Wednesday, Twitter had its first major outage since Musk took over: users in the U.S. and Canada were unable to send messages or post tweets for around 30 minutes. Instead, they saw an error message: “You are over the daily limit for sending tweets.”
Twitter may not be working as expected for some of you. Sorry for the trouble. We're aware and working to get this fixed.
