The new default limits for each endpoint are outlined below and will apply in addition to existing user-level rate limits for these actions. By default, an app (across all of its users) will be limited to:
- Tweets & Retweets (combined): 300 per 3 hours
- Likes: 1000 per 24 hours
- Follows: 1000 per 24 hours
- Direct Messages: 15,000 per 24 hours
They write that they can lift this requirements for certain apps. But any new 3rd party twitter client is pretty much toast.
- mrbill 8y agoThis is per-user, not per-entire-app-user-base, AFAIK
- jasonlotito 8y agoNo, this is per app.

- giarc 8y ago>But any new 3rd party twitter client is pretty much toast Unless they take the time to go through the review process and get a rate limit increase, in which case this theoretically should improve the app quality overtime as only those willing to put in the work will make it through.
- syrrim 8y agoWhat a joke. The only thing that will improve app quality is evolution by natural selection. Shitty apps bleed users and bleed cash. Increasing friction lowers the number of new entrants and raises the cost of iteration ie the two things that increase the speed of evolution. The only viable apps will be incumbents, who are incentivised to not change anything and increase monetization ie ads and tracking.
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoAny old third-party Twitter client is pretty much toast unless Twitter deigns to lift the requirements for them. I'm not entirely sanguine they will.
