And it's worse than you think. While this is a "bug", it is based on a feature that Elon is actively rolling out that will be rate limiting how many tweets you're allowed to view in a day.
That seems to be where the current issue stems from, likely something where it's looking at the amount you've read in the previous 24 hours.
To be fair, I guess this helps people from doom scrolling. Thanks Elon, for getting people to touch grass instead of being glued to social media!
Good thing you can't do this on fedi platforms
