feat: Twitter UsageCapExceeded flag-file early-exit#2
Conversation
When Twitter monthly cap is hit, apiGet() now: - Detects UsageCapExceeded (or 429) in the API error response - Writes ~/clawd/data/twitter-cap-exceeded.flag with expiry = 1st of next month - Clears the flag on any successful API response main() now checks the flag at startup (before DB connection or any API call) and exits immediately with a single warning log. This saves DB connections and wasted exec cycles on every 15-min cron tick when the cap is guaranteed to be exceeded until month rollover. Fixes: backlog [NEXT] 'Add UsageCapExceeded early-exit to spellblock-mentions.mjs' Context: Cap hit 2026-02-24 ~19:40 CT; resets ~2026-03-01

Remove the '|| res.status === 429' fallback from the cap detection logic at both lines 122 and 135. Twitter returns HTTP 429 for both per-window rate limits (15-min cooldown) and monthly usage caps. Only the UsageCapExceeded string in the response body reliably identifies the monthly cap. The previous code would incorrectly disable the bot for up to 30 days when hitting a routine rate limit.

What
Adds a flag-file guard so
spellblock-mentions.mjsexits immediately when the Twitter monthly usage cap is hit, instead of burning DB connections and exec cycles on every cron tick.Why
Twitter monthly cap was hit 2026-02-24 ~19:40 CT. Every 15-min cron since has been a guaranteed API failure until cap resets ~2026-03-01. This fix makes those runs near-instantaneous no-ops.
