# Infinite scroll stops loading new tweets

## Answers

### Answer by Anubhav Sharma

When **infinite scroll stops loading new tweets (X / Twitter)**, it’s usually due to one of these [common issues](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/157871/how-do-you-debug-knockoutjs-applications-and-what-are-some-common-issues-that-can-arise):

### 1. Network or API issues

- Slow or unstable [internet connection](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/114710/what-are-the-best-practices-for-troubleshooting-internet-connectivity-problems)
- API request failing or timing out
- Rate limits reached (too many requests in a short time)

### 2. Client-side problems (browser/app)

- [Cached data](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/34344/what-is-cache) or corrupted [local storage](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/161251/how-do-cookies-differ-from-local-storage-and-session-storage)
- Outdated app or browser version
- [JavaScript](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/874/how-to-create-watermark-text-for-textbox-by-using-javascript) errors blocking further fetch calls
- Ad blockers or [extensions](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12362/is-ajax-cart-extensions-necessary-for-e-commerce-websites) interfering with requests

### 3. Pagination / cursor failure

- Next cursor or `max_id` 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](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2343/a-handbook-for-social-media-parental-restrictions) or shadow limits

### 6. Server-side issues

- Twitter/X backend outage or degraded service
- Feature flag or [experiment](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/43405/who-created-the-holy-experiment) affecting timelines

### Quick fixes to try

- Refresh the page / restart the app
- [Clear cache and cookies](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158032/how-do-we-control-web-page-caching-across-all-browsers)
- Disable browser extensions
- Log out and log back in
- Update the app or browser
- [Check if](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/35072/how-to-check-if-two-string-are-anagram) X is down globally
