View submission: Lets talk about those API calls

How do the new API costs impact generic bots? I have an automoderator bot on my subreddit /r/footballmanagergames, as well as a leaderboard bot that is kind of used as a little game/award thing to incentivize higher quality submission, and people really love the latter.

Would I have to end up paying to run these bots now, or is the pay-to-use API model only targeting people like the devs of the 3rd party apps, pushshift, etc, that make hundreds of thousands of API calls?

Allegedly you'll be fine so long as you stay less than 100 requests per minute per bot.
