Breaks after certain number of blocks #84

If I try to block a large number of people, it starts displaying errors roughly after 3-400, and then when the block is finished, I need to erase all login data to fix it. I use the brave browser.

I've the same problem. I think is related with two factor auth.

It has nothing to do with 2FA, I don't have it enabled on my account and I still have this problem. It's probably because of API rate limiting.

Hi. Twitter has throttling mecanisms for api requests and will invalidate your session cookies if you try to go beyond 500 effective blocks in just a matter of seconds. after that, lots errors could arise until you delete the cookies and log in again.

Is it possible to add the 'sleep' feature in the plugin options section? therefore, we can specify the rate of the block.

API rate limiting.

There needs to be a rate limiting feature for larger amounts of tasks to keep it under the API limit.

For now, just clear your cookies whenever this happens, and avoid blocking over a few hundred people at a time.
