When I started actively growing my Twitter account, I followed new people every day — creators, entrepreneurs, and accounts that inspired me. Everything went smoothly until one day, I saw this frustrating message:
“You can’t follow any more people right now.”
That’s when I discovered that Twitter (now X) actually limits how many accounts you can follow in a single day. These limits exist to protect account health and prevent spammy or automated behavior. But if you’re trying to grow or network quickly, those limits can slow you down.
Let’s break down what those limits are, what happens when you reach them, and how to make the process safe, automatic, and effortless.
Why Twitter Has Follow Limits
Every social media platform has built-in safety mechanisms — and on X, follow limits help stop bots and spam accounts from mass-following users to gain attention.
So yes, these limits are for a good reason. But they also affect real users who are simply trying to grow their audience.
The Daily Follow Limit on X
As of now, the daily follow limit on Twitter is:
➡️ 400 accounts per day for regular users
➡️ Up to 1,000 accounts per day for verified (Blue) users
That means you can follow 400 people in a 24-hour period. Once you hit that limit, you won’t be able to follow anyone else until the next day.
Also, Twitter doesn’t show you your daily follow count, so you won’t know you’ve reached the cap until you try to follow someone and get blocked.
If you keep following and unfollowing too aggressively, Twitter may even restrict your account temporarily — because it can look like spam activity.
What Happens When You Hit the Limit
Once you reach the daily follow limit:
- You’ll get a message saying you can’t follow more people.
- You’ll need to wait 24 hours before the counter resets.
- If you keep pushing the limit (e.g., following or unfollowing too fast), you may get a temporary label.

So if your goal is to follow hundreds or thousands of accounts over time — for example, to build a niche audience or engage with a specific community — this becomes a very slow process.
