Hey, is there a miscommunication around how billing works for 3rd party apps possibly?
Nope.
...and they can avoid the massive billing by changing their auth model?
Nope, both the RiF and Apollo Devs asked about this and were told No. Farther up is an Admin Reply specifically and clearly stating that the rate limit is changing to 100 requests per minute per *client-id*.
Reddit could easily do it by individual Auth but they don't want to. They want 3rd Party Apps to pay for their access to Reddit. Simple as.
