I thought Twitter already had limits, tbh. It only ever has so many curated tweets for me, few of which are from accounts that I actually follow (even fewer from radical tweeters). After a few 'pages' it just says, 'no', and refuses to load any more. It's always done this. If I click on the profiles of people I do follow, many tweet daily and often. Twitter just refuses to include them in my timeline. It's one of the reasons I rarely use it. No idea what it would be like recently.
6000 tweets is only for people with Twitter Blue, and it counts scrolling past a series of tweets on your timeline as reading them, so it's really easy to hit that limit even as a paying bootlicker.
For those of us sane enough to not spend any money on that godforsaken platform, it's only 600 tweets, which is disgustingly easy to hit. Scroll a little through your timeline, open a few tweets to read replies, and you've hit your limit in less than 30 minutes.

There are rumors that Elon didn't pay his AWS bill: https://mastodon.social/@Danda/110641222122739840

Sounds fair enough if you read some of the articles it's for accounts that read over 6000 posts a dayz so as to combat scraper bots.
Twitter has to manage 3rd parties paying for their API somehow

Sorry, you're right it's 600 a day, but seriously I don't think that's a problem it's probably doing us a favour too.
I couldn't imagine spending 30 a day total on Twitter.
They want people to pay for the platform, this is how they're doing it.
