Hello! I was recently looking in the Twitter developer portal and saw this message when hovering over a symbol after the “Tweet cap” text.
The message read that “Certain endpoints (like filtered stream and recent search) have a limit on how many Tweets they can pull per month.”

Does this mean that eg. tweets from regular unfiltered streams won’t count towards the 500,000 tweet cap? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for reaching out, @gradient. This cap only applies to some of our v2 endpoints, including filtered stream and recent search. When you say “regular unfiltered streams,” - do you mean our v1 streaming endpoints or our v2 sampled stream? This cap doesn’t apply to either of these endpoints.

Is information available on higher caps in Standard product track? For example, information on access levels other than Basic access level? Or elevations? And would those be the same thing, or are elevations a separate type of project property? I did some searching, sorry if I missed the resource page. It seems maybe this information is not yet public?

Sorry for so many questions, but are there ball park numbers on when v1.1 could sunset?

I have a community-focused hobby project that’s in beta, and this kind of info will help me decide how to proceed with its development. Any insight or guesses on pending releases or announcements relating to the tweet cap could help.

Thanks

Hi @twidgeltoolkit,

These are great questions. We currently have 2 product tracks, the standard basic track, and the academic research track. We just announced the academic research track on Tuesday of this week. There are different limitations with the academic research track from the standard basic track. In the future, we hope to have more product tracks and different elevations.

We have not yet announced when v1.1 would sunset, but stay informed for product updates/changes. We also usually will announce any deprecations in the announcements section of this forum.
