About X (Twitter) problems

Problems with X (formerly Twitter) can show up as a timeline that does not load, posts that fail to send, or sign-in trouble. X limits how many posts, direct messages and follows an account can send in a given period, and reaching a limit shows an error that is not an outage. We have not verified an official status page for X, so check your account messages and try another network first.

How this check works

  • One measurement location (single-self-hosted-probe), not a worldwide test.
  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Typical X (Twitter) problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Rate limit exceeded X shows a message when your account reaches one of its limits, for example for posts or follows, and you can try again once the time has passed. Guide: 429 Too Many Requests
  • Timeline does not load If the X timeline spins on one network but loads on mobile data, the network path is the problem rather than X itself. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
  • Sign-in keeps looping A stale X session cookie can send the login page in circles, so clear cookies for x.com and twitter.com only and sign in again. Guide: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
  • Something went wrong errors Repeated generic errors on X for every account you try can point to a problem on X's servers, so wait before changing settings. Guide: 503 Service Unavailable
  • Posts fail to send If a post on X will not send, check that it is within the length and media limits for your account and try again on a stable connection.

General fixes: Social media

  1. Update the app Old app versions can stop loading feeds after the service changes. Install pending updates from your app store first.
  2. Compare the app and the website Open the service in a browser and in the app. If only one fails, the problem is in that app or browser, not in your account.
  3. Wait out action limits If likes, follows or posts are blocked for a while, stop and wait. Repeating the action can keep the limit in place longer.
  4. Check for network filters School, work and public networks may block social media. Test on mobile data to see whether the network is the cause.
