That’s how it worked, yes, but we went to great lengths to ensure that call had minimal impact on their end.

The TLDR here is that we only ever requested new notifications (give me anything that came after this thing I know about), which funnily enough then broke for some users, because if a reply you got notified about gets deleted and you use it for reference, Reddit will never return anything new to you, so I had to go and write a 2nd service that runs much more infrequently but does some checks on each account to make sure this isn’t the case.
