And it's worse than you think. While this is a "bug", it is based on a feature that Elon is actively rolling out that will be rate limiting how many tweets you're allowed to view in a day.
That seems to be where the current issue stems from, likely something where it's looking at the amount you've read in the previous 24 hours.
From my understanding, the posts/day also includes any comments you load up. So, if you're not careful with the more popular Tweets, you could be rate limited in a very quick manner.
Which would mean people won't bother with popular tweets people are paying money for to get more views
