Regular short answer to the question, "How many characters can you use on Twitter?" in terms of the character limits on tweets:

• 280 characters per tweet for regular users.
• 25,000 characters per tweet for X Premium subscribers.

• Additionally, by using Circleboom's Twitter Thread Maker, you can create threads with as many 280-character tweets as needed, making it easy to share extended content seamlessly.
