Working within the rate limits is a really big pain in the tail :).
Had to get that off my chest. The issue I'm seeing is that I'm
getting the following response with a 403 code.
{"request":"\/direct_messages\/new.json","error":"There was an error
sending your message: You can't send direct messages to this user
right now"}
Per the docs it should return a 400 for rate limited responses. This
way it's impossible for me to determine if the action isn't allowed or
if it's just rate limited. Is this a bug or am I misreading the docs?
