That's the problem GP means. It's less than a week until it happens, and nobody knows how much it's going to cost, how you convert your free account to a paying account, whether auth is also going to be paid, etc etc
Is this actually confirmed as it doesn't even make sense.
That page mention a free tier of up to 250 requests, it only mentions search, and even though we can't see the content easily, Web Archive is saying that page has been there for the past 5 years... so is that really the future price? Or is it for a Search API that has been priced like that for a long time?
No, even I would consider those sums although I'd prefer not to. Musk's been spitballing '$100/month + your ID' - don't have the link handy but you can just scroll his feed as he treats it like a brain dump.
I'm not that anonymous but I can't say I like the idea of having to provide a copy of my legal identification just to make an API call. Especially considering Twitter's less-than-perfect record on securing PII. What if your published research shows something unfavorable to Twitter (eg a long-term decline in engagement across the platform0 and you start receiving hate mail at your home address?
