       Rate limits are nothing new per se this is true, especially when it comes to load balancer technology, but I can't help but wonder if we are talking of vastly different orders of magnitude by way of scale? A limit of reading 300 tweets in a day compared against say calling Mastodon's Api endpoints/methods 300 times in 5 minutes. This seems almost incomparable?Typically rate limits tend to be set in place for the overall integrity of a service, but the recent announcements by Twitter seem insane and might point the finger at some recent changes made to their underlying infrastructure which simply can no longer cope (however "temporary" a measure). I heard that AI tech can be good at designing RISC chips in under 5 hours - who knows maybe AI could be used (maybe has been used) to fix/break certain issues.

       Just for the record for Mastodon's API I was looking at https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/rate-limits/#limits as for the other place you might hope their website might be up to date https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/twitter-limits.Then again maybe there's a different page in X Corp-land.  I'm not sure about encouraging the buying of a verified account. I can see that up to a point, but then again they seem to have taken action urgently and without warning which may point at infrastructure issues. Then again with so much transparency I'm sure the world would know about that.
