Probably they think what they mentioned here is enough?? http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=617 Testing 20k calls for each user might be difficult .May be we should verify this when IP is not whitelisted.I believe for many sites, it is not uncommon to expect 200 users/hour with

If this is correct (and I don't think it is), then it's very different from what has always been my understanding. I've stated a few times on this list my belief that if you're going to be supporting a significant number of simultaneous users, whitelisting works against you. No one has ever challe

My experience with this is, I think, a little bit different than what you describe. It appears to me that each user of a white-listed site gets 20k requests per hour, independent of any other users of that site or any other uses of the twitter API at other sites by that user. I didn't think this

It's working like you want it to be. In other words, you have a web app running on a single server with a single IP. You make authenticated requests using each user's account. If your IP is whitelisted, the calls go towards your 20k limit, if it is not whitelisted, it goes against the current 150

In your first email you said "When I check an oAuth'd user's rate limit, he also seems gets 2 API hits." so I'm not sure what you are seeing. Also it used to be that user requests from a whitelisted IP would reflect on the users limit unless they had hit their rate limit at which point it would
