Twitter Timeline Broken

I’m attempting to use EllisLab’s Twitter Timeline plugin (on version 1.3.1), but it is failing repeatedly—it overloads the Twitter API every hour, and then caches the following file:
```
1286472358
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hash>
  <request>/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?include_entities=true&screen_name=[USERNAME]</request>
  <error>Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 150 requests per hour.</error>
</hash>
```
...which is singularly unhelpful.

The plugin worked fine for the first two weeks we used it, but is now broken, and I cannot even get it to fail in a graceful manner (it just leaves the section totally blank). Any idea what’s causing this problem?
