Public Utility Apps: Starting now, only apps classified as Public Utility Apps will continue to receive free scaled access.
I’m not sure how to be qualified as a Public Utility App, but that seems to be the only path forward for free API usage based on that post. @wpsi1 any chance you’ve researched that option?

Yeah i had a look at that, but it seems that to be classified as a Public Utility App you need to be “running automated accounts that serve the public interest….To provide essential public safety information, such as weather alerts, transportation updates, emergency notifications, and alerts regarding public infrastructure (e.g., road closures). Generally reserved for verified government agencies, public transportation entities, or public service organizations.”
So that seems to exclude everyone else from free API access now which is a massive shame.
Hi, we have 3 websites, not Public Utility Apps, and in 2 of them is working perfectly, but in one of them stopped working. Are you sure this is going to be block or has being block, as it´s weird that in 2 of them is working like charm and in the other isn´t….
I assume that anyone who’s not paid for access to the X API with their latest update will soon see that they are no longer able to freely use this plugin. There’s not much we can do to help there, but perhaps a minor update to call out how to properly set up pay-as-you-go access is the best we could do. Sorry.

not your fault Jeffrey at all, just a shame X changed their model here. Some guidance on how to set up a PAYG account and rough pricing could be handy for people I think if you have chance
