You can now monitor your remaining credits programmatically and top up before you run out. It supports both app-only and user-context (OAuth 2.0) authentication. + + **Broadcast start and end events for X Activity API** + + We added `broadcast.start` and `broadcast.end` events to the [X Activity API](/x-api/activity/introduction). Subscribe by User ID to receive real-time notifications when a user starts or ends a live broadcast. Both are public events, so you can subscribe with either app-only or user-context authentication. See the [event payloads reference](/x-api/activity/event-payloads) for sample payloads. + + #### Updates + + **Pay-per-use monthly Post cap raised to 3 million** + + We raised the monthly [Post cap](/x-api/fundamentals/post-cap) on Pay-per-use plans from 2 million to 3 million Post reads per billing cycle. If you need higher volume, consider an [Enterprise plan](/forms/enterprise-api-interest). + + #### Bug fixes + + **Trends by WOEID reference corrected** + + `GET /2/trends/by/woeid/{woeid}` returns `trend_name` only; it does not return `tweet_count`, even when requested via `trend.fields`. We removed `tweet_count` from the [endpoint reference](/x-api/trends/trends-by-woeid/introduction) to match actual behavior. `GET /2/users/personalized_trends` is unaffected and still returns `tweet_count`. + + ### Updated `video_total_views` definition
