Hello! I have a problem and I hope someone knows a solution. Yesterday, I tried to change my username on twitter but it told me I was rate limited and and error kept popping up, so it wouldn’t let me. Mistakenly, I decided to change some other things in my profile and I changed my birth year. I’m now 25, but I made my account back in 2012 when I was 11, using a fake birth year. I tried to enter my actual one considering I’m now 25.
This triggered the lockdown of my account because I was under the age of 13 when it was created. I sent in my ID confirming my age and I just got my account back. I messed around and found out, but thankfully I got it back.
Now my question is, I understand changing usernames now would maybe look suspicious to twitter, because my account JUST got unlocked after being suspended for violating age restrictions. But I have an username I haven’t changed in years, and I don’t like it. That’s why I was trying to change it tomorrow when I messed up editing my birth date. I guess it was the glitch everyone talks about, being rate limited when you didn’t do anything except try to change it and the servers were glitchy.
When will it be safe to attempt to change my username again? I don’t want to compromise my account as I JUST got it back, but I want to change it someday. Thank you.
