The technical follow limit is 1000, but Twitter states "this is a technical account limit only, and there are additional rules prohibiting aggressive following behavior".

I did it from the main view of the feed where it also shows suggested people. It also ran the script on an ex-girlfriend and a good friend of mine.

Nice catch!
