(in reference to Twitter requiring users to be logged in) [1] "Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k" (in reference to rate limits which were originally 6K 0.6K and 0.3K) And another tweet that confirms disabling anonymous access was an emergency measure: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1674942336583757825 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1674942336583757825 > This will be unlocked shortly.
