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.
