Well this,"bandwidth limit exceeded. Please wait to transact or power up STEEM." This must still be happening apparently because it is also happening to me right now. What do I do to get over this Hump?

This isn't about whales, it's more about just a glitch in the site or going too fast with certain features

I had the same problem, tonight, but actually its not logical right now cuz I haven't posted for a complete day..
so even a certain amount of bandwith shouldn't be exceeded...

I've noticed it's just a bug, if u wait 5 min it should go away

Happened to me too! I don't get it why because it says my account is worth about $7. 

### Also 
just the fact that you need to have STEEM for bandwidth is going to be a turn off for most people.  Any currently successful social network does not charge it's users to post. Although I understand where steemit is coming from, the mass majority won't! They want everything free free free. 

### And even more soo...
Whales having the ability to censor community members at will is not a good look at all!. No matter how you look at it. This needs to be address asap!

Apparently the threshold for the bandwidth has been reduced to prevent automated spam postings. So you need to watch your bandwidth when posting. Once you are below the threshold you need to wait until it regenerates.

To check just go to

and look for Bandwidth remaining that gives you an idea how much you have left. I hope this helps

I would like to know what the truth of this is.

I received the same message and am unable to post. It also happens to be a fact that I have been in disagreement with some in the community about these new bots many are trying to implement to flag users.

I have always been very polite so it is difficult for them to flag me without making themselves look bad.

Just wondering if this is another way of dealing with people like me, or if it is really just some technical issue.

Some real source of information would be appreciated.

Happens too when you piss off a whale, somehow they have the power to mess with your accounts. Going through it right now.

I could not access my account to transfer funds for 6 months. I did not know what to do. I try this method and worked. just buy about 10 dollars of steem dollars and send it to your steemit account. Thanks for this important info.

Thanks i didn't about this

Why does it happen everyday?

This just happened to me as well and I haven't done anything in 3 days.... I don't think anyone has down voted anything. I'm a really small account :/ It won't even let me reply to a comment on one of my posts

was it maybe at saterday or sunday!? 
Just a idea... because  I have the same problem and it's saterday...

I got that message earlier today a few hours ago. I had powered up my steam power several hours earlier and then just before I had made 5 or 6 attempts to upload a fairly small video onto DTube and it just kept crashing giving me an error message. So I closed all browsers and ran a scan on both ASC (Advanced System Care) and SuperAntiSpyware. Both found tons of junk to clean out of the system. Then everything went fine after that.  I hope that helps others who may have the same issue.

Hi, read through the comments. If you haven't read these two articles yet then they should help you at least understand what is happening.

Odd. I just bought $100 of steem last night and powered up... and now this morning I get bandwidth error? I wasnt even active overnight lol. When did I lose this bandwidth that I didnt even know I had? Shouldnt I have tons of it since I just bought a bunch of steem ans converted to Steem power about 12 hours ago?
