Describe the bug We've been posting threads and every once in a while we'll get back a 503, service unavailable error

The tweet does actually post but because it's a 503 it's interpreted as a failure and the thread stops posting

To Reproduce I'm actually unable to reproduce consistently as I think it's some kind of Twitter API bug

• https://twittercommunity.com/t/post-2-tweets-gives-errors-on-success/175836
• https://twittercommunity.com/t/v2-tweets-api-returns-503-but-tweet-published/177687

I wonder if anyone's run into this and figured out how to work around this as I think it's an issue with the Twitter API

I am seing this issue aswell and I've tried to fix it for a while but couldnt ....

Is this maybe tied to the "quota exceeded" if you have posted more than X tweets on the day?

@PLhery have you seen this in your testing?

Just to followup on my side, I haven't seen this in a while honestly
