Rate Limit

When an application has been created to use the Twitter service, it has certain limits imposed that are designed to prevent any single application from making excessive or unreasonable use of its resources.

The Rate Limit window allows you to view the current quota that Twitter Delitter has available to it. While TD uses very little resources and generally isn't a concern for most users, it is nonetheless available to view despite it originally being used by the TD author for debugging purposes.

Twitter Delitter will remember the open state of the Rate Limit window and will open it if it was already open when TD was exited.
