What is the deal with the "exceeded bandwidth-power up or kick rocks" message?
Found out that if you comment too much, or vote too much, you get the message of death...
I was trying to reply and I guess I crossed the imaginary line.
Good news is I found out that if you send someone some SBD's it will let you comment.
The bad news is that if you are having this problem there is no way for you to let me know if it helped unless you try it I guess.
In this case I sent my wife @erin-michiels $1.00 and the curse was broken.
LOL
Here is an article that @xtrodinarypilot sent me on discord.

Hope steemit figures out how to fix this.
Looking around for @timcliff for tech support.
Users have a limited amount of bandwidth, which is based on the amount of SP they have. When the network is busy, the amount of bandwidth per user goes down. Users who have low SP and have been transacting a lot (posting, commenting, voting, etc.) may run into temporary bandwidth limitations. The best thing to do is wait for a little bit (a few min / up to a few hours) and see if it starts to work after the network activity goes down. If you are doing anything excessive (following thousands of users, posting thousands of comments, etc), then it is best to cut down on your usage to stay within your bandwidth limits. You also have the option to purchase more SP. If you are not doing anything excessive and it becomes a major issue where it is happening constantly, or for prolonged periods of time, then post your account name in the #help channel of steemit.chat with a description of what is going on, and we will help try to figure out why you are being impacted.
Great info @timcliff! Thank you for the follow through with that.
I encountered this problem last night as I was trying to post my most recent article. After some searching I found out that all you need to do is await a little bit. After 10 minutes I was back to being able to post.
But I also learned this:
Go to https://steemd.com/@youraccountname
Here you can see all your activity and on the left you will see your voting power, but also your remaining bandwidth.
So just refresh the page until your bandwidth is back in the positive and then you know you're good to go again :)
Good looking out. I am going to look at this.
There has been alot of node interruption on steemd.com as well and quite a few notice of service under maintenance. I wonder if they are related
Not sure what it all means. But, I get the impression that it has something to do with the increase in new users, and the decrease in value of SBD's.
Always good to stay informed.
Thanks to your husband, @xtrodinarypilot I got on Discord and talked to a bunch of people who are having the same problems. lol
Yes i just had the same issue.
Obviously you figured out how to fix it. What did you have to do?
I just waited like it said
We are being too social
lol. Too social for social media.
Now we know, and knowing is half the battle.
What a great child hood memory. Rushing home after school to catch GIJOE and NightRider
Actually if you just wait a while, it will let you start commenting and stuff again. No need to buy steem, make transfers, or anything.
Yesterday it happened to me, I waited 15 minutes and it started working again. Today it happened again, and I only waited a couple minutes and it started working again.
Thanks for the comment. Based on what @timcliff said above, that should work. I was chatting with someone in discord, and they had waited 12hrs. They must have logged on when there was a lot of activity. I am sure @steemit will have it all dialed in for us soon.
I hope so!! :)
Im one of those who has this problem. It seems better today but the last 2 days I have been having Big problems an only wrote a message and boom message back and I cant do anything. Mabye waiting is the only way but I love posting and comment
I did send some sbd's out to my wife and that seemed to work for me. But, not sure if that is a fix all. I only sent $1.00. It's worth a try. Send a friend a $1.00 and see if it works. Tell them to send it back if it doesn't.😂
I did sent to a friend couldnt write a message so he will probably ask but it worked. I could answer this now :0) thx hope it last
oh good. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank u for telling me :0) great tip
