Musk expands tweet limits hours after the limit was introduced

Twitter owner Elon Musk has changed the restriction imposed a few hours ago on reading a certain number of posts on the social network. Now the limit is 10 thousand for verified users, 1 thousand for unverified and 0.5 thousand for new accounts. The billionaire tweeted about the decision.

Limit Was installed the day before, July 1, late in the evening Moscow time. Initially, it was 6 thousand, 600 and 300 posts per day. Two hours after that, Mr. Musk announced the expansion of the limit to 8 thousand, 800 and 400 tweets, respectively. The re-expansion occurred five hours after the introduction of the restriction.

Mr. Musk explained the decision as “an extremely high level of data collection and manipulation of the system.” As the owner of the social network noted, this solution is temporary. On the eve of July 1, Downdetector recorded failures in the work of Twitter.
