Hey Powerusers,
I've been running an MS flow for about the past 2 months, posting anywhere between 1 to 10 tweets a day. Recently, as of Oct 22nd, I'm beginning to see these flows fail. The body response and status code are as follows:
Share
Report{
"status": 429,
"message": "This operation is rate limited by Twitter. Follow Twitter guidelines as given here: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/rate-limits.\r\nclientRequestId: dd21f737-b2ef-4819-89a5-1c45e8ddf855\r\nserviceRequestId: 8c38789158d886e033111b0c63d5f1e6;243256cb86dbefa9c4841312b919076a",
"source": "twitter-ce.azconn-ce.p.azurewebsites.net"
}
I've done research on the Twitter API regarding rate limits on posts, and I cannot find anything specific related to MS Flow, or its rate limit time interval. The closest I found was this: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/rate-limiting.html and https://twittercommunity.com/t/rate-limit-for-post-statuses-update/31411 where a Twitter Staff member mentions that its 2,400 tweets per day, broken down into 15 minute intervals.
We're coming nowhere near close to this limit, at best we post 2 tweets every 15 minutes but its usually 1 an hour.
Could this be an issue related specifically to the MS Flow Twitter connector? Why suddenly are we running into this issue after several months of this working in production?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Tom
My analysts are also confirming that twitter posts are now working again.
Any idea on what resolved this?
I've opened a ticket with Twitter, as I wonder if there is somethign within the twitter side blocking us.
Looking at the rate limit documentation I wonder if the Flow urls have been balck listed:
https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/rate-limiting.html
How is this issue not being communicated out to users? I was just testing the functionality for a client today and was hitting the 429 error. This was one of the features that the client needed when thinking about Google vs Microsoft. Has anyone opened an official ticket?
Monday 5-Nov - still failing on first tweet of the day: "This operation is rate limited by Twitter..."
This is the third week of the 429 errors, starting at the same time as this announcement:
https://twittercommunity.com/t/new-post-endpoint-rate-limit-enforcement-begins-today/115355
I do not see this resolving itself. Does anyone know how to get MSFlow support attention on this?
Try on Friday with same error message 429, Try this morning and it was fine. Posted a tweet on the Microsoft Flow feed on Friday. Seems to be an intermittent issue. Most probably a service issues and as with all cloud services will be resolved in time.
