Hi there,

this might be obvious to everybody working longer with the API but to
me its a bit unclear:

If I call rate_limit_status from a  script that I registered at
http://twitter.com/oauth and using OAuth I get 20000 API calls per
hour as as base for my requests.
If I call rate_limit_status from a not registered script with username/
password (Basic Auth) I get 150 API calls per hours as a base for the
authenticated user.

As far as I understand the documentation at
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-account%C2%A0rate_limit_status
I would expect the response of rate_limit_status via OAuth to be based
on the users calls (ie. returning 150 calls per hours with how many
calls are left).

But: if I send the request authenticated with token and secret via
OAuth I always get a response based on 20000 calls per hour.

Is that right?

Thanks,
Patrick
