As of now, verified accounts are capped at 10k. For unverified accounts this is 1,000 posts, and for new accounts, up to 500 posts.
The limitation came after Musk declared that the idea is to deal with “extreme levels of data extraction and system manipulation”. He declared that he will take legal action against those who stole the platform's data.
