Thousands of Twitter users reported problems accessing the site on Saturday.
The issue appeared to affect users on both the social media app and website.
Many people who tried to view, search, refresh and post content on the platform were met with error messages that read, «Rate limit exceeded» or «Cannot retrieve tweets.»
«Please wait a few moments then try again,» the prompts read.
The issue was intermittent; many people were at some point able to post about their inability to access the site.
More than 7,400 people reported a problem accessing Twitter as of about 11 a.m. ET, according the website Downdetector. That number fell by about 1,000 reports by early afternoon.
