Thanks for the prompt response.
Yes, the request is timing out with no response right now. We've seen
sporadic behavior like this the last few days and we've built in retry
mechanisms so messages aren't getting lost. As far as I understand,
posts of statuses aren't being rate limited so this shouldn't be a
problem. Individual account rate limits aren't being hit (we tested one
account and when the rate per day was hit, we were getting actual error
responses regarding this limit).
However, the retry mechanisms are failing because the post succeeds, yet
the text being posted is not the one we're posting. Instead, we get the
post from the previous successful message about 2 hours ago.
Sent for posting:
Hv 2 catch up on the scriptures: He has delivered us from the power of darkness
and conveyed is into the kingdom of the Son of His love. COLOSSIANS 1:13
The response shows the succesful post, but the text is the previous post
from 20 minutes ago:
texthi/text
Entire response is below.
Thanks,
Enlai

Hi Enlai.
Can you provide more information, please?
If you experience times that there is no response, do you mean that
the request is timing out?
As for getting a successful response, yet the status not updating
could be caused by sending tweets with the same text as a tweet you
sent recently.
Either way, I don't know which of these, if any, are afflicting you.
Can you provide more information as to what precisely you are issuing
to the API, and what precisely is it responding with?
Thanks!

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I can't find an answer online.
This is happening right now so I thought I'd see if something is up
with the API.
Sometimes, I get no response from the status update post and other
times, I get a response with a successful post result. However, the
text in the post shows the previous successful post rather than the
one I just posted.
What does this mean? Has some rate been tripped?
Thanks
Enlai
