twitter api post rate limit

Does anyone know Twitter's rate limit on posting? Looking at their web page they claimed to not have one but I get an exception thrown if my program posts too fast... Any help is appreciated.

    Current Twitter limits

    The current technical limits for accounts are:

    • Direct messages (daily): The limit is 1,000 messages sent per day.
    • Tweets: 2,400 per day. The daily update limit is further broken down into smaller limits for semi-hourly intervals. Retweets are counted as Tweets.
