 * Are there any settings in the plugin that would cause Twitter to suspend my authentication
   to the API?

 * Probably rate limiting, if many users access the widget.
    Other than that, no.

 * The plugin makes regular API 1.1 calls well under the rate limits. It makes no
   attempt to cheat the system.
 * Twitter are free to do whatever they like with your API access at their discretion.
   They dislike the public display of tweets outside of their control, but if they
   have a problem with your use of their content, they tend to get in touch first,
   rather than just cut you off.
 * I suggest you contact them directly, or head over to:

 * Thanks for the response. I’m using the plugin during development of our new site
   and all my traffic is just me, myself and I and I’m refreshing for my updates.
 * I’ll post on that twitter discussion forum you suggested. Thanks again.
