Elon Musk sets new daily Twitter limits for users - Lemmy.world

Elon Musk said verified accounts would be limited to reading 6,000 posts per day while unverified users will be limited to 600.

He is really trying to kill the platform at this point.
I can’t even think of a financial or business reason for him to do this that makes sense, he must just want to run Twitter into the ground
My guess is that this is a way to prevent people from using screen scrapers to pull data from Twitter now that API access is gone. I can't help but think they would have better served from looking for that activity and blocking it, rather than putting limits on paying customers... even if that limit is high enough to be essentially unlimited. Someone would need to spend 12 hours on Twitter looking at 500 posts per hour to hit it.
