- Twitter is changing how many Direct Messages non-paying customers can send from unlimited to 500 per day.
- The change comes amidst limits to non-paying customers’ ability to DM other users on the platform and a purported rebranding of Twitter to X.
Twitter is undergoing a lot of changes recently. In the middle of its purported rebranding to X (yes, you read that right), Twitter is also exploring ways to get more people to subscribe to Twitter Blue and pay to get “verified.” Recently, the platform had begun rate-limiting users on its platform, citing a spam bot problem but allowing a far greater limit for Blue subscribers. Now, citing the same, Twitter has introduced limits to how many Direct Messages (DMs) you can send in a day as a non-subscriber.
Twitter’s Support handle recently announced the change to a fundamental part of the platform’s operation.
