Re: You are unable to follow more people at this time

hitting twitter daily limits and hitting following too many should be treated differently. If you hit a "following too many" whether you want until you get more followers (to allow more followings) or you unfollow some, you will not be wanting to try and follow again in a few minutes. There needs to be some manual decisions made by you.

Hitting a limit because you followed 400 a day, action should stop and reschedule for tomorrow. IF you have logs showing this warning message, send them over

This is exactly what I was hoping would happen, or would expect to happen but it didn't. It ended the process completely as a FAILED and did not reschedule.

This happened a couple of days ago but I haven't cleared the logs so it should be in there.

OK, I found the log for this one instance and for this acct it actually has 12k followers and only following 10k

How can I send you the log for this one?

For some reason, Twitter shows the same message if you hit too many followers, or hit the daily limit, trust me, I know ;)

so unfortunately, Martin cant do anything to fix this. only thing he can do is make the bot wait instead of making the action fail, make it go back to waiting, and retry in 1 hour, if this still hasn't passed the time needed, it'll go back to waiting. 1 to 5 tries per hour is fine, and better than keep on trying to follow

That's what I was suggesting for a fix. Since it's a daily limit, if the message hits have the action wait 24 hours. That should clear it completely.

Same as always

HELP > LOGS > SUBMIT

then send your logs ID - the first 4 numbers is sufficient (displayed after successful uploading of logs)





REGARDS,

There may be subtle differences in the response headers that can tell you which is which.


Other way around this, never follow more than 400 in a single day, then you will not hit that warning :)

Must be different on an account by account basis then.
