Hi Everyone! I have a bot that replies to tweets that mention “medical physics.” It has been working fine but suddenly the last several days it hasn’t been posting. The error, “403 Forbidden 186 - Tweet needs to be a bit shorter” is now being shown in the console. I even narrowed the status down to one character and I get the same error. Is anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on how to get around it? I use python tweepy: api.update_status(status=status, in_reply_to_status_id = tweet_id , auto_populate_reply_metadata=True) to make the reply. Any advice is appreciated.

What’s the full text you’re trying to post?
Also, this is how you should count characters: Counting characters | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform it’s slightly different, especially if using emoji

It seemed to not matter what length of text I use. I could not even post the character “1” without getting the error message. It has basically removed my ability to use in_reply_to_status_id
