As a follow up: 1) I assumed that updates to status DO NOT count towards rate limit tokens. I verified this assumption is correct. This provides weight to presumption of internal update rate limiting.
2) When this limit is reached, calls to update status return the user's last status. While I can see where this behavior is helpful in some cases, is there not a reasonable argument for throwing a 400 in this case?
