Why? Who reads over 6000 tweets a day?
Bots and people scrolling a lot.
300 tweets is nothing, so essentially new users are limited to very casual reading.
Don't forget, that just clicking/tapping on a tweet opens the discussions about that tweet which in turn are each separate tweets. So opening a single, controversial tweet you actually want to read, might easily result in 20 read tweets as far as the API is concerned.
The other thing is tweet embeds in articles.
You can be watching a BBC live text page and have 20-30 tweet embeds go by over the duration of a football match.
300 is low enough you could feasibly read enough news and hit the limits without even directly visiting Twitter
It's not for users, it's to stop data scraping by AI companies they use for training.
Exactly, so who cares if some bots stop working? Not the users.
