I was wondering if this package handles errors arising from too many requests made to a Twitter API made in a given time slot.

If you are using the TwitterAPI.request
method, you should catch the appropriate error and throttle your requests. If your are using the TwitterPager
helper class, it will automatically throttle for you. The class also takes an optional wait
argument to set the interval between requests.
The docs are sorely out-of-date. I'll be working on this in the next couple of weeks. Exceptions to be caught are listed here.
