Twitter broke for several hours after deploying a new 4,video lucah melayu baju kurung biru tudung000 character limit earlier in the day.
On Wednesday afternoon, users found they were unable to publish tweets. Instead they received a message saying "You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets," or simply an error message. Users discovered they were still able to publish tweets by scheduling them via the web app, which somehow bypassed the outage.

Credit: Twitter Earlier today, Twitter announced a new feature for Twitter Blue subscribers that lets them tweet up to 4,000 characters, which is likely related to the outage. A leaked email from Twitter CEO Elon Musk to Twitter staff says "Please pause for now on new feature development in favor of maximizing system stability and robustness, especially with the Super Bowl coming up."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Facebook, Instagram, and... the McDonald's app are all reporting outages per Down Detector, so it's possibly server-related.
