MODERATORS
So they expect less than 4166 API calls per user per month, or 138 per day? That doesn't sound like much.
I just loaded reddit.org and my browser did 57 XHR requests. I clicked on a post with zero comments and it went up to 84. Clicked on a second one with 430 comments and I'm already at 137 requests...
For context, it looks like "Apollo requires ~345 requests per user per day".
The majority of those might be user profile and telemetry stuff that doesn't show up on a third-party app. Fetching comments doesn't consume that many requests as 200 comments are retrieved in a single request.
All the more reason to not use their shitty website.
