This is what I was wondering. I don’t use Twitter so 600 sounds like a lot but I was wondering how much it actually was. Someone else said they blew through it in like 15 minutes

15 minutes if you actually read the tweets, but when this “reading limit” is actually “impression limit”, and Twitter counts an impression as a tweet just loading on your feed (I didn’t know this). About 2 minutes of continuous scrolling gets you rate limited.

And sounds like it’s implemented in a api-request=view way. I’m not sure how much requests the JS makes per view but im sure it’s more than one.
