Twitter has been hit on Saturday by a global outage preventing thousands of users from accessing the social media platform.
Many users have complained of seeing the error message “Unable to retrieve tweets”[ads1]; when trying to view or post tweets. Some users have also reported seeing a “Price Limit Exceeded Error.”
Users have reported receiving the ‘rate-limit exceeded’ message on their “For You” page, a page that typically consists of personalized, curated content.
Nearly 4,000 people have complained about problems on the Down Detector site, including the inability to retrieve tweets, missing timelines and disappearing followers.
It is not clear what the cause of the problem is or how long they will last. The company has not yet commented.
This is the third time the platform has faced a shutdown. On March 6, it was reported that Twitter was experiencing glitches where links stopped working, some users were unable to log in, and images were not loading for others.
Similarly, it was reported on February 8 that many Twitter users found themselves unable to tweet, follow accounts or access instant messages as the Elon Musk-owned platform experienced a series of technical issues.
One social media user wrote on Down Detector: “I joined Twitter in 2009 and I’ve had more problems since Elon took over than all the time before that. Madness.”
Even those who have access to the platform have complained of problems.
