Everyone with elevated access is losing it in June as far as I'm aware - at least that's the case for academic uses. There will be academic pricing for Gnip, although we don't know how much it'll cost, I'm doubtful it'll be low enough for most academics to afford. They've been telling us that they planned to shut down free elevated access down for well over a year now, so this doesn't come as a huge surprise. Twitter seems to do regular audits like this, and at least for our academic work, we've had to tell them what we're working on etc. every 6 months or so to keep elevated access. Having said that, looking at the volume of data that Emojitracker is pulling down, it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to spread the tracking over 2 or 3 separate connections. The UserStream API, whilst not designed for server-to-server connections, would probably allow Emojitracker to spread the ~900 emoji they track over 3 streaming connections using only a single account.
