They have a limit over 100k (2x their current user base) IIRC, since they already have 100k+ users on Tweetbot.

- masklinn 14y agoTokens are per-application. So they do not have "a limit over 100k", they have a limit of 100k on "Tweetbot for Mac". Which is a completely separate limit than the one for Tweetbot on iOS.
- zefhous 14y agoThe Tweetbot for Mac alpha was already out before the limit was announced, I would bet they already had way more than 100k tokens registered at the API limit announcement. Tapbots has >135,000 twitter followers. They had significant exposure from many other sources too, like Daring Fireball which has >400,000 Mac + Twitter using RSS subscribers. Early adopters are more likely to have multiple twitter accounts as well, so they would have already registered multiple tokens.
- andrewmunsell 14y agoIn a blog post they said, "Our user cap for Tweetbot for Mac is also large and we don’t expect any problems given the smaller market", which sounds like it's the double-user cap, not 100k.
