That makes some sense. I use the favorites for both bookmarks (for the majority of users who aren't on Favrd), and as votes for Favrd (for the few that are). I could easily be cresting 250/day. Btw, I assure you I am not mechanically issuing favorites; every one of them is lovingly applied by my hand.
A better error message would help. Expanding the limit would help even more. Given that I follow just over 650 users, which in aggregate issue 1,500-4,500 tweets/day, allowing "just" 250 favorites a day seems a very low number. I am sure I'm on the high end of readership, but I have seen a number of my colleagues who follow 400+ users. Some follow 1,000. Is there a reason to limit favorites thus? I.e. is it an "expensive operation"? I wouldn't think so, but it could be. If not, why not increase the number of allowed favorites to 1,000 or 1,500/day, say?
