    The new API has the exact same free 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…
