Does this change affect all access? Like, I have half a dozen bots that only write (post rss items).

At first I assumed this was only impacting read access (apps that mimic the twitter app), but now I’m not so sure.

There's no write-only API keys, all keys come with read permission. If you didn't encounter discussion of any of "Key", "Secret", "Token", "CK/CS" while configuring that, and are thinking of apt/yum/brew installable terminal packages and IFTTT and likes, that package or the IFTTT backend are the apps and the maintainers will have to do something about it.

My bots are set up through dev. I wasn't saying my bots don't have read/write access. Just saying that my bots _only_ actually write, and I was hoping I could perhaps still use them for that purpose without having to pay.

I believe things like @PossumEveryHour and some of the automated traffic/weather systems have announced they'll be shutting down.

Yeah, I'm seeing mass announcements of shutting down. I think some are holding out small hope that something will change in the next few days. I just checked and I have six active bots.

@isjesusreturned @badassnames @pinballmapcom etc.

Bummer.

I'll especially miss the Earthquake bots :(
