Thousands of people had problems accessing Twitter or dealt with other service issues on the social media platform Saturday.
The outages began cropping up Saturday morning in the wake of owner Elon Musk implementing new restrictions on how many tweets users could view, with most of its 200 million users capped at 600 daily.
At one point, nearly 7,500 people were reporting problems with the platform, according to DownDetector, which tracks websites’ outages.
Throughout the day, hashtags including #TwitterDown and #RateLimitExceed were trending topics, as was BlueSky, a decentralized social media platform co-founded by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
