Its funny how the entirety of silicon valley just forgot that Twitter was infamous for their unholy mess of a codebase which at some points looked like it had a secret mission to increase world entropy and terraform the planet.

I still remember watching podcasts, reading blogposts, hearing prominent VC's like Elad talking about etc.. Now everbody silent because Elon is the baba yaga...

To go further, its crazy how much cognitive dissonance can penetrate even the smartest among us.. If you had some understanding of how modern systems at twitters scale works, you'd know such a bug is highly unlikely.

You have multiple clients (android, ios, web) and a whole cluster of microservices calling each other. The microservices calling each other will easily use up more requests.

IMO the likely culprit is rate limits being triggered by a huge increase in scraping caused by the new api pricing.
