Hi, my understanding from the discussion here (http:// groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/ bf65a7160a8a44c9?hl=en, third and fourth item in the thread) was that status update requests would not be limited by the 20,000 requests per hour rule.
Today we are getting this error: XML Error: http://twitter.com/statuses/show/1158263569.xml HTTP Status: 400 /statuses/show/1158263569.xml Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 20000 requests per hour. Is this a bug in the API or is this limit now in place? Appreciate any feedback anyone can provide. Thanks!
