I think he was trying to say that the Frontend of the Twitter timeline is not aware of the new request limit, and when that limit is reached it just retries the request, as it would in a normal network error, and keeps in retrying resulting on DDOS.
But I don't believe on that because Twitter is a billion dollar company and that kind of mistake is dumb. So idk.
