Right now, when you hit the `max bookmarks per day` limit, the only error message you receive is `Sorry, an error has occurred.`

A more helpful error message is honestly needed here. I would suggest something like what you see for hitting the like limit, preferably with a countdown to the reset.

> You have reached the max number of bookmarks for the day. You will be able to add more bookmarks in X hours

Failing the fancier coding, a simpler message warning users have reached the max limit would do the job nicely.
