Why is the twitter API throwing this error?

Question

The error message suggests that my "request was denied due to update limits". But this account hasn't tweeted anythin in the last 24 hours and it also says retryAfter=-1. I tried it with the current stable and the snapshot build of twitter4j but it didn't help. Does someone know what is wrong?

403:The request is understood, but it has been refused. An accompanying error message will explain why. This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits (https://support.twitter.com/articles/15364-about-twitter-limits-update-api-dm-and-following).

Answer 1

Code 261 means the API-token was suspended. It takes only 10 minutes to appeal the suspension and get everything up and running again.
