Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Getting too many login attempts error though my app uses per user auth apis

Unfollowing is not "rate limited" by the API, but we have organic limits on most write actions service-wide to prevent certain kinds of bursty behavior. Best to back off from retrying requests when you get an error like this for an exponentially increasing amount of time -- first 30 seconds, then a minute, then a few minutes, then 10 minutes, etc.

I am getting this for the Unfollow method. This shouldn't happen for
the unfollow API. Can someone at twitter look into it?
