Users slam Twitter as they receive 'daily limit' error and can't post messages

Twitter has been slammed by users after reports of major outrages with the social media site. According to Downdetector, a website that monitors social media outages, there have been over 10,000 reports of Twitter crashing with the issues regarding the site on PC's and laptops, rather than the mobile app.

The Daily Star reported that a number of users report being unable to use Twitter and its "pro" social media management tool Tweetdeck, with users expressing their anger about the latest outage in the comments section of the Downdetector site. Dozens reported that they were told they were "over their daily limit" when trying to post tweets.

The Star said that one frustrated Tweeter wrote, "It appears that Twitter is down in a BIG way. I can't post a new tweet or even reply to one." Many users appear to blame new owner Elon Musk for the problem. One said: "On one hand I hope Twitter dies and goes to hell …but on the other hand where else will i talk about my interests?"
