    What is the limit (if one) for the amount of people I can follow in a day, week, or whatever? I have followed people before in order to get some followers back, but wanting to know to what extent I can do it without breaking any rules. Can someone let me know please? Thanks!

    About 150 a day, anything over could get you suspended. Trust me it has happened to me many times.

    Last time I checked, there was a total 2000 limit - if you hit it, Twitter will require you to have a specific follower:following ratio in order to follow more people. I am not aware of any other limits. In fact, I remember following at least a thousand accounts at once a year or two ago, so that should be technically possible.

    Hi, From official page:

    The current technical limits for accounts are:

    • Direct messages: 250 per day.
    • Tweets: 1,000 per day. The daily update limit is further broken down into smaller limits for semi-hourly intervals. Retweets are counted as Tweets.
    • Changes to account email: Four per hour.
    • Following (daily): The technical follow limit is 1,000 per day. Please note that this is a technical account limit only, and there are additional rules prohibiting aggressive following behavior. Details about following limits and prohibited behavior are on the Follow Limits and Best Practices page.
    • Following (account-based): Once an account is following 2,000 other users, additional follow attempts are limited by account-specific ratios. The Follow Limits and Best Practices page has more information.
    Thank you :)
    Have a nice day :)
