- User password modification (42%)
- Developer policy updates (such as Twitter API charging system reform in 2023)

Solution:
- accessTwitter Developer Portal→ Log in to your developer account
- Find the corresponding application in "Projects & Apps" → click "Keys and tokens"
- Click "Regenerate" to generate a new Token (the old Token will expire immediately)
