Hi all --
The current update/follower/unfollower limits are not programmatically
accessible for a given account in large part because there is little real
value. Most use cases which find such information valuable is behavior that
we do not feel benefits Twitter as a whole.
Do you have a
yes initially i thought the follow/update/unfollow/dm are all in the same
limits. but i can see now (
http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15364) that the 1000 only
applies for Updates/dms not for follow/unfollow. That only requires a near
1:1 ratio. Some documentation on what the maximum
Doug,
I have been told by support (Lukester) that my account was exceeding
following limits of over 1000/day. 5 days ago I disabled SocialToo
which was set to follow 100/day. I have since tried to add followers
(the last 4 days) yet have been restricted do so at all.
Can you please help me
Yes,
My users are in the same predicament. They seem to hit a daily limit
of 200 follows. My personal account has a higher limit of 500. No DMs
are sent through any of these accounts. Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you,
Chris

Thanks,

I have noticed the same thing, and there is no predictable pattern to
it.
The API kicks back the limit exceeded message on numbers far below
1,000.
The same goes for DMs. I've seen a person being limited after 200 DMs
have been sent.
It initially seemed like you were asking about the update limit but now you
are talking about following limits. Can you be more specific on the behavior
you are seeing and why you feel it is an issue? We can argument the
documentation to clear the confusion but I'm not following your exact
Doug,
I think this is very similar to the email I sent in to
a...@twitter.com. We've been getting inexplicably blocked from
following on accounts we're managing that have 1.0 following/
follower ratio, large numbers of followers, less than 60/hour
following rates, less than 300/day following,
Doug,
This is closely related to the DM daily limit email exchange we had
about a month or two ago, where I sent you the details of users who
get rate limited at around 200 to 250 DMs for the day instead of the
published 1,000 limit.
