I am fairly new to using Twitter API, and have been using Tweepy Python API to stream tweets in real-time based on specific keywords, however, in my developer portal, it shows that I have not used up anything based on my monthly usage cap (shows: " 0 Tweets pulled of 500,000").

My question is: At what point does the usage start counting? Or is it perhaps the case that my understanding of this usage is incorrect?

Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you

Tweepy uses v1.1 of the API, while the count on the dashboard is for v2 endpoints only. The limit does not apply to v1.1 API.
