It's fun how it works the first three times, then less fun when it complains about being "rate limited" on the fourth time.

Any rate limit errors are false flags caused by bugs, they aren't related to load or real rate limits
I'm not sure why this is down-voted despite it being posted by what looks like the original developer according to their username: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter
I have no idea, maybe "false flag" was too incorrect? You're right, I am.
"False flag" is pretty close to loaded language these days.

"Spurious error" would probably be a better term.

Thanks, BTW, amazing tool.
