Sounds fair enough if you read some of the articles it's for accounts that read over 6000 posts a dayz so as to combat scraper bots.
Twitter has to manage 3rd parties paying for their API somehow
6000 tweets is only for people with Twitter Blue, and it counts scrolling past a series of tweets on your timeline as reading them, so it's really easy to hit that limit even as a paying bootlicker.
For those of us sane enough to not spend any money on that godforsaken platform, it's only 600 tweets, which is disgustingly easy to hit. Scroll a little through your timeline, open a few tweets to read replies, and you've hit your limit in less than 30 minutes.
Sorry, you're right it's 600 a day, but seriously I don't think that's a problem it's probably doing us a favour too.
I couldn't imagine spending 30 a day total on Twitter.
They want people to pay for the platform, this is how they're doing it.
