I saw someone say that the new Twitter update was causing it to essentially DDoS itself. Is this true? I have a very basic understanding of what DDoS is but I don’t understand how the two are connected. Thanks in advance.

[The change was due to Elon choosing to not pay their google cloud services bill.](https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/elon-musk-twitter-google-cloud-b2355804.html) Limiting the number of tweets a user can see per day was data rationing. Elon more or less tried to hide this fact behind a profit argument.
All the explanations about people accessing twitter and failing to load tweets DDoSing it are missing this fact. This is an infrastructure problem caused directly by Elon downgrading their cloud services for the platform.
