Thousands of Twitter users across several countries were unable to access the social media site or faced difficulty and delays Saturday.
"Rate Limit Exceeded" and"#TwitterDown" are the two top trending topics on the app in the US, for those who have use of it. The former had over 40,000 tweets as of Saturday noon.
Users, including CNN journalists, flagged that their feeds weren't loading and that they were met with an error message saying,"Sorry, you are rate limited. Please wait a few moments then try again." Others reported errors saying the site cannot retrieve tweets. Rate-limited messages have been sent for years intermittently to some users, according to the site's own Twitter blog as far back as 2008. But that limit now is 2,400 tweets, which users were not exceeding.
