Also could be that they are scaling down systems

Im just saying, he hasn't been paying bills and it's the first of the month.

Yeah. That feels more likely. Twitter has been running for years and likely isn’t a stranger to something like this.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah something I thought since he was "forced" to buy twitter, was he would just burn it to the ground. What does he care?

Why would that affect these metrics?

Less servers able to serve requests means either get overloaded and have downtime, or rate limit and stay up.

Both are bad, but rate limiting is less bad.

I see, I guess at that scale API requests add up. I suppose it is a solution, and if replies don’t count, the limits are rather reasonable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, exactly.

Also worth mentioning, the scale of Twitter also means that they have contractual obligations when it comes to uptime (for advertisers etc), so downtime could be very costly indeed.
