You are encouraged to track your access token count independently, acknowledging that you will not be aware of every access revocation. |

This token limit does not apply to any other applications. |
| Do the display requirements apply to mobile apps and Twitter clients also? | Yes. Our display requirements cover mobile. See Developer Display Requirements. |

Then see if you can... |
