Howdy everyone,
hope all is well with you and yours. Not too long ago the calls for the rate limit were working. I changed apps, regenerated keys several times, and it doesn't matter how many times I configure / look at it, it seems as if my rate limits never go down. That being said, I do get rate limited. I have elevated access and I am using the following calls to check for rate limits.

` twitter_auth_keys = {
"consumer_key" : Auth_Codes.consumer_key,
"consumer_secret" : Auth_Codes.consumer_secret,
"access_token" : Auth_Codes.access_token,
"access_token_secret" : Auth_Codes.access_token_secret
}
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(
twitter_auth_keys["consumer_key"],
twitter_auth_keys["consumer_secret"]
)

auth.set_access_token(
    twitter_auth_keys["access_token"],
    twitter_auth_keys["access_token_secret"]
)

api = tweepy.API(auth,wait_on_rate_limit=True,retry_count=100,retry_delay=300)

count = 100
cursor = tweepy.Cursor(api.search_tweets,
                       q = f'{query}',
                       lang = 'en',
                       result_type = 'recent',
                       count = count)
print("Query Complete")

tweet_payload = []

for tweet in cursor.items(count):
    now = datetime.now()
    current_time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")

    current_searches_remaining = api.rate_limit_status()['resources']['search']['/search/tweets']['remaining']
    current_search_limit = api.rate_limit_status()['resources']['search']['/search/tweets']['limit']
    max_searches = current_search_limit * .25
    #print("Checking rate limit")

    if current_searches_remaining >= max_searches:
        print("Searches Remaining: ", current_searches_remaining, "/", current_search_limit)`

When I check the JSON for api.rate_limit_status()['resources'] every single rate limit is always maxed out, even after being rate limited. Thoughts?

Another thing I noticed is that I am sharing the same rate limit across all other rate limits. Is this a new thing in 2.0?

There's other reports of this (e.g. https://twittercommunity.com/t/get-application-rate-limit-status-return-wrong-number-of-remaining-calls/175952), and I'm able to reproduce the issue, but this is a Twitter API bug, and it seems like it probably won't be fixed since it's an API v1.1 endpoint.

I'm not sure what you mean by "sharing the same rate limit across all other rate limits".

For code block usage, see https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks.
