Currently, when I attempt the following API calls I receive the "rate limit exceeded" error:
http://twitter.com/statuses/friends.xml http://twitter.com/statuses/followers/someone.xml http://twitter.com/friendships/exists.xml?user_a=me&user_b=someone However when I request rate limits I am well within limit (I started making these requests with 100/100). In addition, I I can make other authenticated API calls under my auth credentials and they run fine and dock me correctly against my rate limit. This has been occuring for the last week and a bit. No one on this IP address uses Twitter besides me so I can't figure it has to do with my IP address exceeding limits. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it just erratic / erroneous messages returned? @Dimebrain
