ISLAMABAD: Twitter, also known as X, has now put new limits on what unverified users can do on its social media platform, whereas users are saying that the whole thing is a bit unclear in the way it rolls out.<\/p>\n
The company said on Monday that these limits will be for accounts that don\u2019t have that blue verified check mark, right next to the username. X stated that the new technical limits are supposed to ease pressure on the platform\u2019s behind-the-scenes systems, and they\u2019re also meant to cut down on downtime and reduce error pages.<\/p>\n
Under the new rules, unverified users can send up to 500 direct messages each day. They can also share 50 original posts, plus 200 replies per day.<\/p>\n
X added that this daily update cap is split into smaller amounts every half hour.<\/p>\n
On top of that, a user can change their account email no more than four times per hour. X also set a technical follow cap of 400 accounts per day.<\/p>\n
The company emphasized this is just a \u201ctechnical\u201d account limit and that separate rules still block chasing\/following in an aggressive way. And for accounts that already follow 5,000 other accounts, any further follow attempts will be curbed using account-specific ratios.<\/p>\n
X said API activity coming from third-party applications is tracked as part of the hourly API limit. In other words, if someone connects several outside apps to their X account, they may hit the API limit faster than you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n
