Do you know whether your site has any trouble with WP Cron? The rate limit value is reset every hour using a cron job scheduled through WP Cron.
You can install the plug-in Crontrol to take a look at your cron schedules and verify whether the job is scheduled. It’s called ‘wptratelimits’, so it should be pretty obvious.
Joe: Thank you for your response.
wptratelimits is not appearing in my cron events according to according to WP Cron.
Is there anything I can do to get rate limits to engage? I’m unfamiliar with wp cron and am being very careful with my cron list. Instructions?
cheers and thx
Ken Gray
ps
Joe: I reinstalled wp to twitter and wpratelimits is still not list in cron events

Thank you for your help.
I got this note from my Internet provider:
Hello Ken,
Thank you for providing this information. After further review and consultation with my Tier 2 technician, it appears that the requested cron job is missing the code for the actual cron job command. Do you have a means to access or determine what code should be executed by the wptratelimits cron job? If so, please reply to this email with that information and we will be happy to add the cron job for you.
Please let us know if you have any further questions; we are more than happy to help!
Best regards,
Brian K.
Joe:
Would you be able to help in this regard?
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

The code that actually handles the WP cron job is on line 10-13 of the file ‘wpt-rate-limiting.php’. Please note, however – this is *not* a cron job; it’s a wp-cron job, which is run as part of WordPress, as opposed to a cron job, which is run from the server.
The rate limit cron job is created when you update the rate limiting setting; you may want to try updating that setting in Advanced Settings to set up the cron job again, and see if it shows up, then.
