Hi,

Using a few dozen separate accounts, our app sends personal tweets to
all followers of @twisst.

Most of those accounts were suspended on Tuesday, I suppose because
some spam-catching algorithm marked them as spam. Fortunaly, after I
sent an e-mail to Twitter, they were soon unsuspended. The problem is
that ever since, it seems impossible to send out a lot of tweets
without reaching daily update limits - even though I didn't send out
that many yet.

For instance I just got back a "403 - User is over daily status update
limit" for @twisst13 using http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json. My
system tells me I only sent 279 tweets through that account in the
last 24 hours.

Daily update limit is supposed to be at 1,000, according to the FAQ:
http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/15364-update-and-api-limits

I don't see any hourly limits being reached, as the maximum that was
sent was 107 tweets an hour through a few accounts.

In total our app sent 12.691 tweets in the last 24 hours, so I can't
image it has to do with any of the other alerts, since that's under
the whitelist 20.000.

So maybe this is a bug? Maybe it has to do with the suspending and
unsuspending? Anyone else seeing something like this?

Thanks,

Jaap


P.s.: sorry if this should have been posted somewhere else. I did
enter an issue in the issue list a while ago, but now it doesn't seem
possible because of maintenance.
