How to bypass playback limits?

The social network has temporarily imposed limits to limit the number of tweets that can be read per day. However, there is a solution to work around the problem.

If you’re an avid Twitter user, you may have noticed all weekend that the platform was difficult to use. Everywhere, users saw the message “Rate limit exceeded” on their timeline. For many social network users, loading tweets on their timeline is impossible. And for good reason, Elon Musk actually implemented new restrictions on Twitter. Verified accounts, understand, users who subscribe to Twitter Blue, have limited access to read 6000 tweets per day. Unverified accounts have a much lower permission limit as they can read a maximum of 600 tweets per day, while new unverified accounts are limited to only 300 read tweets.

To justify these temporarily announced restrictions, the owner of Twitter explained that the platform suffers from heavy traffic and abusive data recovery. Behind these explanations, Musk accused startups working on artificial intelligence tools of siphoning data from the social network to train their AIs.

Is Elon Musk telling the truth or trying to trick the platform’s users into signing up for Twitter Blue? Pending a return to normalcy, concerned consumers are seeking solutions to overcome these restrictions. And some seem to be functional, at least for now.
