npub1cmgqvz7xr07euwkum3mjghjqcu4d3k2fcyf6g4uwwe5ggnd6fetq0wrzd2 (npub1cmg…rzd2) Yeah, it worked, but I had to click "save changes" about 50 times in quick succession.

My guess: Unlike posting a tweet, changing your username is just the kind of unusual operation that might involve distributed consensus (Paxos, Raft, etcd). It's entirely likely it could be handed off to a small 3-node cluster somewhere. It's also an expensive operation, so the whole thing is probably throttled (globally).

I'd bet even money the error message was actually related to that.
