Why won't they reach the cap? It's only 100,000 users over the entire lifespan of the app. That seems like it could go rather quickly.

It's based on their existing token count (double), not a flat 100k.

The tokens are per client app, so for the iOS client, it's 2 x (whatever their user count was at the time), but for the new Mac app it's 100,000 max.

No it's not.

> hese tokens dictate how many users Tweetbot for Mac can have. The app’s limit is separate from, but much smaller than, the limit for Tweetbot for iOS. Once we use up the tokens granted to us by Twitter, we will no longer be able to sell the app to new users. Tapbots will continue to support Tweetbot for Mac for existing customers at that time.
