So I got this message when I used the Twitter API to try and follow an account.

The account in question on Twitter is @Wayupthereyall , I set something up where it would follow accounts every random.randint(0,1800) seconds, so on average, one account per 15 minutes. It never followed more than 2 accounts a few seconds apart (or even close to that), but I got 2 pop ups asking me to verify that I am human, which I did, and then got the message in the picture 2 days after the last verification.

The way I was getting the users id to follow is by getting retweeters of tweets from bigger pages and following them, again, every 15 mins on average.
At it’s max the account was following 300 people, I manually unfollowed most of them.
The bot is hosted on Heroku, I have that account on my PC and iPhone.

Why did I get those pops ups asking me to verify that I am human and now this follow, like and retweet limit?

I definitely don’t want to break any Twitter rules, so I woud love to know what I did wrong so I can correct it. If you want any more info let me know and I will give it to you.
