[twitter-dev] You cannot tweet a same message within certain timeframe or number of past tweets?
Hi, at my work I am developing an app to post tweets on Twitter. While testing the app, I noticed that I keep getting forbidden error if I tried to tweet same message over and over again. So I went to the Twitter site to tweet directly and it looks like even from Twitter.com I cannot repeat the same tweets made within past few hours. I presume this is a feature to prevent abuse, but I cannot find any documentation anywhere:( I need to be able to explain to my customer this limitation though.. does anyone know where can I find an official information about this, which contains information about how many hours after original tweet that the same message can be tweeted again? Thanks for your help!! K
