To my knowledge (and I might be wrong, but this is what I understand to be true):
- there is a limit of 250 DMs per day for a user account, blanketly applied. Whitelisting for an application has no effect on this limit. This isn't an API limit. It's a limit for a Twitter user. A twitter user could contribute to their allocation by using the website or an API client.
