Unable to post image to Twitter due to update limit error

I am trying to upload an image to Twitter with the following code but I get a limit error:

ConfigurationBuilder builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
builder.setOAuthConsumerKey(TwitterConst.CONSUMER_KEY);
builder.setOAuthConsumerSecret(TwitterConst.CONSUMER_SECRET);

String access_token = mSharedPreferences.getString(TwitterConst.PREF_KEY_TOKEN, "");
String access_token_secret = mSharedPreferences.getString(TwitterConst.PREF_KEY_SECRET, "");

AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken(access_token, access_token_secret);
Twitter twitter = new TwitterFactory(builder.build()).getInstance(accessToken);

StatusUpdate status = new StatusUpdate("Sample message: " + args[0] + " - Download it from Google Play at goo.gl/xxxxxx");
if (foto_to_share.equals("https://www.mywebsite.com/Folder/default/fb_stub.png")) {
    status.setMedia(String_to_File("https://www.mywebsite.com/Folder/default/fb_stub.png"));
} else {
    status.setMedia(String_to_File("http://www.mywebsite.com/Folder/upload/" + session_userid + "/" + foto_to_share));
 }
 twitter4j.Status response = twitter.updateStatus(status);

The first image is 139 KB, the second one is 140 KB large. Both images are on the web, the String_to_File method downloads them to the SD card.

I am sure I haven't reached any limits I know as I can't post the image, but I can tweet a message.

The error:
