[twitter][error] HttpError: '429 Too Many Requests' for 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/videos/tweet/config/1117243043592060928.json'

This tweet is technically not a retweet, but a quoted tweet (or something like that), and gallery-dl doesn't properly handle them at the moment.

Concerning the 429 error: each user is "only" allowed ~180 requests to fetch video data per 15min and you've managed too exceed that. I'll add some wait time if these errors happen, but you could also manually slow your download speed and frequency with -r and --sleep.

so each request sleep 20s ? this is new change from their system ? ty

Ok, quoted Tweets like https://twitter.com/Meiyu_miu/status/1070693241413021696 are now handled like retweets and filtered accordingly, and rate limit errors (429 Too Many Requests) get dealt with without raising an error.

this is new change from their system

No, the limit was always in place, you usually just didn't reach it and therefore didn't get an error.
