X's recent API changes actually largely fixed the issue. Obviously not *entirely* but the % rate dropped so drastically that the costs (which we were fronting completely) just didn't make sense given the impact we were having was greatly reduced.

Fixed! Had some regex that was a bit too aggressive.

some of these bots feel surprisingly real on an individual-post level...then @BotBlockAI has a pass at them and you realize they're very much not. the idea that you can (or even should) discern tweets on an individual basis just doesn't work. gotta look at the whole account.

@Support I keep getting a "rate limit" error whenever i try to change my username. i've never changed the username before and only tried to change it the one time. but it's been many hours and it still won't let me change it.
