Please pardon my ignorance, but who is actually being limited by a maximum 600 tweets per day? It can’t be your average (or even moderately active) Twitter user, right?

New accounts? Wait…I thought that was only when you scroll without an account. So if I have an account,I can only read 300 tweets/replies? What happens after that? Do I need to buy blue?

if you already had an account it’s limited to 600api calls. Twitter blue increases that to 6000api calls. and you can no longer browse without an account which ironically caused Twitter to ddos itself

@freehugs @FizzlePopBerryTwist isn’t the limit reading 600 tweets, not sending out 600, since it is to prevent data scraping?

The limit was actually reading 600 tweets. Scrolling through comments also uses up that limit, since each comment counts as a tweet. That’s the problem.
