The new API has the exact same limit. They’re just dropping support for the old API soon and people who want to depend on the old version will need to pay for its continued support because they want to push everyone onto the new site/API

  It doesn’t say the new API costs money, though. It just says the old API requires VIP for people that can’t switch to the new API…

Yea OP should update the post. OS did a horrible job communicating but its not as dire as the title projects.

I think it goes from 20 to 5. 10 if you’re not anonymous. To get more you need to have contributed to the site, monetarily or other wise.

  The minimum for anonymous is 10/day. If you sign up and do nothing else it’s 20.
  
  If you sign up and upload a single file it goes to 50.
  
  If you pay $15/year it’s 1000

    This is still reasonable IMO, unless people are binge watching a Netflix release in the entire day they can wait for the next day to download subs.

    That’s good to know, thanks for the link.
    
    The API documentation needs to be updated.
