HelgeIs 600 posts considered a lot? Also how are replies counted?

Musk says verified accounts are temporarily limited to reading 6000 posts/day, unverified to 600, and new unverified to 300, to address "extreme" data scraping (Elon Musk/@elonmusk) https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1675187969420828672 http://www.techmeme.com/230701/p9#a230701p9
Thanks! That makes more sense. 600 posts / day is the number one can read without paying. Does someone have a screenshot of the "You read 600 posts, now give me money" message?
Alexander The 1st@helge @misc I'm guessing the API just returns an empty post list after that number, and doesn't try to upsell you directly.
As for whether 600 posts / day is a lot/not a lot - if it counts replies, that's 60 posts with 10 replies made by an app, and then you're done...but also, when I was on Twitter last, I had followed ~200 people IIRC.
That's 3 posts per person I follow in my timeline before I hit that limit, even without replies.
