Twitter has crashed. Either that, or they're deliberately preventing most users from posting.

They're getting a message saying they've exceeding their post limits -- on their first post.

People on the competing website Post say the way to get around the Twitter exclusion is to schedule a post -- which some people are doing, because they need to use Twitter for work reasons.

Many Twitter users on Wednesday afternoon were unable to post on the site, receiving a message that read, “You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets.”

Tweets also couldn’t be posted from mobile phones. A message pops up saying, “Tweet not sent” followed by, “We’re sorry we weren’t able to send your tweet. Would you like to retry or save this tweet in drafts?” Users also weren’t able to send or load direct messages.

Some users were able to tweet by scheduling their posts using the calendar icon at the bottom of the message box.

The Internet tracking service Downdetector showed that the number of users submitting Twitter problem reports skyrocketed starting around 4:30 PM ET.

4. So? This article is from a news site, unlike three of your listings,

and it's from CNBC, not MSN.

[Cha]

10. TY.. pnwmom's is the first one

I've seen after I just had my weirdness with Twitter.

[Effete Snob]

11. yep

I like to provide a way to link them together, since various info turns up in them.

[nolabear]

3. So it's not just me.

I mean, I’m reeeeeeally important there but not that important! 😄

[nolabear]

5. Not to be all conspiracy-theory, but they had quite the morning with that committee.

I have a great fantasy of Twitter saying “Oh yeah? You want to give us grief about not posting? We’ll show you not posting!” 😄

[CatWoman]

8. BINGO

They were ALL made to look foolish and that Rolling Stones article was the icing on the cake

[Cha]

6. Oh TY for posting this.. I just got a

message from them that I had "Reached my Limit of Retweets for the Day.. Try again Tomorrow" it said.

[lpbk2713]

7. Too much positive reaction to President Joe's SOTU?

I would not be surprised.

[Cha]

12. I was wondering.. I tried to Retweet this..

& got the message that I had Reached my Limit of Retweets for the Day & to Try again Tomorrow.

Link to tweet

Neither would I.

[CatWoman]

[Cha]

16. Wow.. TY! smh

[Cha]

17. PS.. you're right.. I just Retweeted

the Tweet I wanted to.

TY

[pnwmom]

14. Someone on Post said that only verified accounts (the paid ones)

could post today, unless it was scheduled.

[Cha]

18. Wow.. & I wonder why that would

be?

I was able to Retweet my tweet on Pres Biden just now, though.

I don't know about if just anyone can tweet without a verified account, though.

[lpbk2713]

15. I'll grant Rick Scott one thing.

He knows a lot about lying.

[gldstwmn]

19. I was looking at it last night and thinking how it looked like they were setting it up to monetize

every single action on there. They're going to make people pay to Tweet. I knew it. We'll probably have to pay to share Tweets too.

[womanofthehills]

22. Twitter support posted at 4:27 it might not be working for some

I had no problem - maybe certain parts of the country.

"Twitter may not be working as expected for some of you. Sorry for the trouble We're aware and working to get this fixed."

23. I'm seeing some major network burps this afternoon on Outage.Report.

Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube all had substantial short-term events between 4pm and 8pm today, but not at exactly the same time. Maybe somebody is poking the bear.
