Businesses Can Now Respond to Twitter DMs 5 Times Within 24 Hours

Adaptive rate limits ensure customer service during periods of high volume

Twitter announced a new feature aimed at ensuring that businesses can respond to direct messages during periods of high volume.

Developer advocate Jon Cipriano introduced adaptive rate limits in a blog post, saying that the feature allows accounts to send up to five DMs via the Twitter application-programming interface over a 24-hour period in response to DMs that they have received.
