Infinite scroll stops loading new tweets

When infinite scroll stops loading new tweets (X / Twitter), it’s usually due to one of these common issues:

1. Network or API issues

• Slow or unstable internet connection
• API request failing or timing out
• Rate limits reached (too many requests in a short time)

2. Client-side problems (browser/app)

• Cached data or corrupted local storage
• Outdated app or browser version
• JavaScript errors blocking further fetch calls
• Ad blockers or extensions interfering with requests

3. Pagination / cursor failure

• Next cursor or maid not returned by the API
• Duplicate cursor being reused → no new data
• Backend returning empty results but frontend still waiting

4. Scroll event not triggering

• Scroll listener detached or not firing
• Container height miscalculated
• Virtualized list thinks end is already reached

5. Account or content limitations

• No more tweets available for that timeline
• Protected, deleted, or blocked accounts
• Temporary account restrictions or shadow limits

6. Server-side issues

• Twitter/X backend outage or degraded service
• Feature flag or experiment affecting timelines

Quick fixes to try

• Refresh the page / restart the app
• Clear cache and cookies
• Disable browser extensions
• Log out and log back in
• Update the app or browser
• Check if X is down globally
