A growing number of prefectures have stopped posting disaster warnings on the platform due to limits on the number of free posts allowed.

It sounded weird that they’d have reached the 1500 monthly tweet limit so quickly, but apparently there’s also a limit of 50 tweets per 24-hour period. In one prefecture that they use as an example, there are 45 cities, towns and villages, and each one needs it’s own specific warning. So if a big storm comes through, they’d use up all their daily tweets on the first warning, and there’d be no room for updates. So that’s what the issue was.
