Troubleshooting Tips for Twitter Outage: How to Schedule a Tweet on Twitter
Twitter users experienced an unexpected outage on Monday, with many users being met with an error message stating “your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint”.[0] Along with the error message, users were unable to access photos or click through links, causing further frustration.[0] This was all a result of changes made by Twitter to move from an open API culture to a premium-only API service.[1] CEO Elon Musk has attempted to shut off likely a majority of Twitter’s microservices, leading to a significant outage last month, leaving users unable to like, tweet or direct message.[1]
If you’re having trouble tweeting on Twitter, here are some troubleshooting tips from PCMag’s Chandra Steele. Firstly, you’ll need to schedule your message.
