Twitter’s average TPS – or tweets per second – is in the ballpark of 5,700. The last time a major spike to the TPS was experienced was in August of 2013, when Japanese users watching Studio Ghibli’s “Castle in the Sky” spiked the activity to a record 143,199 tweets each second. Not even the 2014 World Cup was able to beat this per-second record: the final moments of the Germany-Brazil semifinal clocked in at only 9,669 TPS (but it did set a record for most tweets per minute).
