made a short test with the Amibroker IB plugin before IB turns their servers off over the weekend:

(?) Which means that the answer to (1) would be "no". Interestingly, TJ's API plugin opens a pop up message to warn the customer when the total number of symbols (TWS + API) exceeds the limit. This implies that is somehow possible via TWS API to detect when the symbol limit is reached. (???) Interesting! Glanced briefly over the TWS API docs, but didn't find any such method. But I could have overlooked it, have not read the TWS docs in detail yet. (and they're not written well, for example no Javadoc used!!!).
