Any hint to avoid account bans? What are the request limits? (just for educational purposes obv, I would never)

Awesome job man.

Are those limits HTTP calls or actual number of records returned for example:

get_user_tweets[tweet_type="Replies"] 50

Means 50 tweets fetched every 15 min, or 50 get_user_tweet calls every 15 min?

I got hammer banned from X twice kek, (just for educational purposes obv, I would never)

Seems like even if you stay below the rate limits, still your account can get suspended as there's a ML behind that knows if a behaviour is human-like or not.

Even trying to bypass it as much as possible with random delays and GPT-powered messages, still get suspended.

Gotta try reducing 100x the comments frequency to: max 6 a day and see what happens

Ok, thank you.

How about simple tweets fetching rates?

Ok, thank you.

I don't know, I have to do more testing in the next days and let you know.

@fl0wo were you able to test what is a good rate?

I'm wondering the same thing, it might be they don't like you using new accounts as well...

Don't think so, I used a very old account and it still got suspended. No difference in account age

@noodleman420 Yeah no idea, I wasn't logging in a bunch, just fetching new tweets every so often, by all accounts this shouldn't have triggered anything, I'm sure it was a very suspicious account on their end though (VPN, proton email address).
