Twitter is a social media platform for sharing and interacting with short messages called tweets. However, people have encountered difficulty accessing tweets due to the rate limit.

Therefore, we will discuss the Twitter rate limit exceeded and how to fix it. Similarly, we have a similar guide on what to do if Twitter is over capacity.
