Is there a static Twitter thread cache somewhere? Loading this fails with "something went wrong" and then "you are rate limited".

If Twitter's dark pattern to force login/app usage were just a little closer to the headline, I would have thought the failure was the punchline of this posting.

This happens _every single time_ I open a link to twitter if it's been >~1 hour since I last viewed a twitter page. Different devices, different networks, etc. It's been this way for at least a year. All I can think of is I don't have some tracking cookie they're using to guess that I'm not a bot. Reloading the page (w/ F5) fixes it.

Presumably logging in or using their app would fix it, but I've got far too much spite for that. Instead I just avoid the site where possible.

This happens to me on iPhone (Safari) as well, and looking for it, it turns out it's been a well-known problem for months (if not years). Astonishing.

You need to reload the page. The refresh button is useless.
