Twitter applies a limit to the tweets and direct messages that can be sent each day. Twitter uses this method to reduce spammers and server overload. What to do to avoid exceeding this limit?
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Twitter's Limits
Step 1. First of all, start by respecting the limitation of 100 tweets per hour
This limitation includes retweets and links. If you exceed the limit, you will no longer be able to tweet for 1 or 2 hours.
Step 2. Don't Tweet more than 1000 times a day
If you exceed the limit, you will no longer be able to post until the next day.
Step 3. Reduce the number of direct messages
If you send more than 250 in one day, you won't be able to post on Twitter until the next day.
Step 4. Don't tweet duplicate content
If the Twitter system notices that you are always sending the same tweets, your account may be suspended.
- If you always tweet the same content, your account can be suspended for several days.
- Limit the links you use in your tweets. Tweeting only external links could lead to you being banned for spam.
Step 5. Limit the number of new people you follow each day
- By following 1000 new people a day you risk being suspended for a day. The site refers to this practice as "aggressive following".
- If you follow more than 2,000 people but don't have many followers, Twitter may prevent you from following other people until your account is no longer popular.
- This restriction is actually calculated based on the people followed-follower ratio. This relationship is not known.
Method 2 of 3: Exit the Suspension Period
Step 1. Wait patiently
If you get an error message after sending a tweet, a message, or after retweeting someone else's tweet, you've probably been suspended.
- Read the steps above to get an estimate of the suspension period.
- The error message may read: "Your account has been suspended".
- Make sure you are not in violation of Twitter's policy. Read it at
- After several hours, or a day, you will be able to tweet again.
Step 2. Avoid tweeting on multiple devices
Twitter's APIs have a limit. This means that Twitter limits application-website interactions.
Many find it easier to get suspended using third-party Twitter clients, a blog, a phone number and a computer
Step 3. Write to Twitter Technical Support
If your account is no longer reactivated, you may have been banned for spam.
- Go to twitter.com/support to contact Twitter, report the problem and your account name.
- If Twitter technical support accepts your request and acknowledges an error on their part, it will reactivate your account with an apology.
- It may take several hours for your account to return to normal.
Method 3 of 3: Manage Your Tweets
Step 1. Reduce the amount of Tweets you post each day
Twitter has set a reasonable limit for daily use.
Reduce the number of your tweets for a week, to see if in reality the number of followers does not increase as the quality of the content you post increases at the expense of quantity
Step 2. Create another Twitter account
If you really don't want to limit yourself, create a second or third Twitter account.
Associate the accounts, so that your followers can find you on the second account as well
Step 3. Be very selective with Twitter apps
Choose whether to use your computer, phone, blog or stay with this client.
Reducing the number of Twitter apps you use will help you stay within API limits and prevent your account from being suspended
Step 4. Pay attention:
tweeting from the blog could create duplicate tweets. If you want to post links directly to the blog, disconnect your website from the Twitter account.
- Whenever you post a new comment, your website may automatically post it on Twitter.
- If you don't want to personally tweet new content, linking accounts may be your best bet.
- Make sure that other websites or blogs do not update the site more than 100 times an hour or 1000 times a day, otherwise you could be suspended.
Step 5. Suggest that your loyal followers switch to emails to converse
- It may be extremely easy to hit your maximum daily direct message limit if you need to use them for work or important conversations.
- Contact your clients or co-workers by email or phone to save time and messages.
