Twitter (X) has a rate limit that makes it so that you’re only allowed to view a certain number of posts or send a specific number of messages each day. The claimed reason is that Twitter is trying to reduce the number of spammers. Some have argued it incentives getting a Premium membership. But whatever the case, it can be a hassle if you’re trying to grow your business and run into this pesky daily limit.
You may even be tempted to bypass it. But this may not be a good idea. In this post, we’ll discuss bypassing the rate limit and why this might not be the best idea. Also, learn how you can buy X Space listeners when you use SocialsUp.

Understanding the Rate Limit
If you exceed the rate limit, you will not be able to view more posts or send more messages, at least for a day. This number can constantly change, but the current information is that unverified users can read up to 600 posts a day and send 500 messages. If you have a new unverified account, you can read 300 posts a day. Again, this is the current rate, but it may have changed since this post.
For the average user, this rate limit shouldn’t be too much of a hindrance. But for business owners who are trying to grow their brands, the rate limit can be a brick wall. There is the option to pay for X Premium, which will increase the number of posts you can make tenfold, but many people do not want to pay for that.
Can You Bypass the Rate Limit? Why Do People Do This?
With any brick wall, there’s always a tunnel that you can dig under if you so desire. Third-party apps and browsers, such as Opera GX, let you bypass the rate limit.
Again, for most users, the rate limit should be enough. But if you’re trying to grow your brand, you should post as much as possible. Spamming links, using bots to engage automatically with users who use your niche’s keyword, etc. And when that limit is exceeded, you may find ways around it.
But This May Not Be a Good Idea
If you get caught trying to work around the rate limit, X may punish you. If you’re spamming, your reach may be reduced, or your account could be deleted. In the former scenario, you may be posting links, but no one is noticing them.
In general, spamming with links or content is not a good way to grow. People may see someone sending them an unsolicited message or reply and feel like it’s desperate. They may ignore or even block you—very few people, even if they are looking for your services, like unsolicited messages.
As for your page, if you’re posting way too much, users may get content fatigue. Your content may overwhelm a user’s feed, causing them to mute or unfollow you. If you’re getting mass unfollowings, this could affect your ranking in the algorithm. Not to mention, the algorithm, in general, does not like it when you post way too much, so reel it back a little.
Want More Rate? Get X Premium
Again, no one wants to pay for social media, but X Premium can improve your ranking in the algorithm and put your replies near the top of the comment section. Plus, you do not need to worry about getting in trouble for bypassing a lower rate limit.
Better Yet, Grow Within the Rate Limit
Again, being spammy is not the solution. Before you pay for X Premium or try to game the system, you should embrace your limits and be creative with them.
First, you can always schedule posts. Scheduling posts will keep your account posting regular content while staying within Twitter’s limits.
Also, you should engage, not spam. Look for quality users who could be potential customers and give them helpful responses, not spamming links. It’s better to engage with a dozen interested people than to spam hundreds of folks who may not be interested and end up blocking you.
Finally, spread your content around other social media platforms as well. Never rely on just one platform, especially one as volatile as Twitter.
Final Thoughts
Growing on Twitter can be challenging due to the rate limit, so either play it smart or get Premium. Trying to bypass these rate limits can affect your reputation and your account’s standing on Twitter. That said, we hope this article helped.
