Twitter Gets Variable Rates

LEGO Twitter Fail Whale

today, we’re experimenting with moving rate limits for all clients to
varying amounts during periods of high load. you might see rate limits
change from the default of 350 calls / hour. you may even see different
values as we monitor the effect these changes have on overall Twitter
performance.

So begins dynamic rate limits for Twitter calls. The goal is to reduce the number of fail whale screens we see or get indirectly through Twitter clients. Will it work?
