App Auth Rate Limits are Unusably Low?

[felixturner]

Unless I’m missing something, it seems the Application-only Authentication Rate Limits are unusably low for any app with moderate usage?

For example ‘statuses/user_timeline’ is limited to 300 requests per 15 mins. If my app hits that API once per user, then it will fail pretty fast.

So I guess I still need to require twitter sign in for this use case?

thanks!
