After Elon Musk announced that he would limit the number of tweets that could be viewed on Twitter each day, many people began to switch to TweetDeck, which Twitter acquired in 2011, to circumvent the viewing limit on the number of tweets and some Twitter usage issues. However, this also caused TweetDeck to be overwhelmed by the number of people in a short period of time, causing the service to be shut down.
In an earlier announcement, Twitter said it would launch a new test version of TweetDeck and confirmed that the old version would no longer be used in the future.
Twitter has not yet confirmed when the test version is expected to become the official version. Although the current test version provides basic functions, some functions such as Teams are not yet available. However, functions such as Spaces will be added in the future.
We have just launched a new, improved version of TweetDeck. All users can continue to access their saved searches & workflows via https://t.co/2WwL3hNVR2 by selecting “Try the new TweetDeck” in the bottom left menu.
Some notes on getting started and the future of the product…

Within the next 30 days, Twitter will require users of the TweetDeck service to verify their identity. Twitter also expects to make TweetDeck's advanced features exclusive to Twitter Blue subscribers, thereby increasing revenue and dispersing user traffic.
Prior to this, Elon Musk said that many companies and third-party services would use tools to capture tweets on Twitter to create application services, or conduct research and analysis through tweets, which affected the smooth experience of using Twitter. Therefore, users were required to log in to their personal accounts to browse content.
In the subsequent instructionsElon Musk said that users who have not completed personal account verification will only be able to view a maximum of 600 tweets per day, and newly registered users will only be able to view 300 tweets. As for accounts that have completed verification, they can view 6000 tweets per day.
However, the restrictions were later relaxed. Users who have not completed personal account verification can only view a maximum of 800 tweets per day, while users who have completed verification can view more than 8000 tweets per day.
