oAuth should allow 450 `GET search/tweets` requests in 15 min but I am only getting 180

[bitshadow]

As mentioned here ( https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1/limits ) I should be able to make 450 search/tweets requests. But I am only getting 180. Below is the JSON response for application/rate_limit_status. Any work around for this issue?

Request URI: https://api.twitter.com/1.1/application/rate_limit_status.json
Request query: resources=help,users,search,statuses

The “Requests allotted via application-only auth” are only when you are using application-only auth: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/application-only-auth.
You are currently using normal OAuth, as the “rate_limit_context” is not “access_token” but “application” in the case of app-only auth.

Thanks @vincentisambart. That worked!
