I can see that for statuses/user_timeline there will soon be a 100K per day rate limit per application. Does this mean if an app has for example 1000 users, it can only make 100 requests per day per users? If so, is there any viable alternative to get updates to timeline of a user (latest likes/rts/… since last X hours)?

Hi @mahdix,

That’s correct. If your app is operating at or above the new limit, I’d suggest choosing the option below
that best describes your use case and follow the steps provided:

I. My application serves other businesses:

  1. Please complete the enterprise API application via this form with detailed information about your application that makes use of these endpoints. A Twitter representative will be in touch to discuss available options for continued access.

II. My application does not serve other businesses:

  1. Make sure that you are logged into your Twitter Developer account.

  2. Follow this link to the API Policy Support Page, where you should see the option: “I would like to apply for elevated user & mentions timeline limits.”

    • Note: if you do not see this option, it means that you are not operating at or near the 100k limit. If you are certain that you’re impacted and this option is not displaying, let us know by posting in the rest category on the forums.

  3. Complete the form with as much detail as you can about your current use of one (or both) of the mentions and user timeline endpoints. Our team may need to reach out for further clarification if your submission is incomplete or unclear, which may delay a decision about your application. Please provide as much detail as possible.

  4. We will review your submission and notify you of our decision when our review is complete.

Thanks!
