I had that problem too. I was using OAuth with old-style URLs, such as: https://twitter.com/direct_messages.json instead of: https://api.twitter.com/1/direct_messages.json The former started to gave me "Rate limit exceeded, don't do more that 75 req/hour" all the time (even after waiting for the reset time) and switching to the latter works as expected: the rate limit is 175 requests per hour and the countdown actually works. So, if you're getting rate limit errors and you're using OAuth, make sure you're using the URLs documented on http://dev.twitter.com/doc, especially if your app is a bit old. Hope that helps, Bruno
