X (Twitter) gateway: from Nov 18, post reads are 450 AP and search is 4,500 AP (X now bills expanded objects)

From 2026-11-22, X bills every object returned through expansions (authors, media, quoted posts) at the same pay-per-use rate as a direct lookup: Post and Media $0.005, User $0.010 each. Our post read returns the author and up to four attachments in one call, and search returns up to ten authors, so both now cost us several times more upstream. From 2026-11-18 05:00 UTC: GET /v1/x/status/:id goes from 100 AP to 450 AP per upstream fetch (one flat price, whether or not the post has images), and GET /v1/x/search goes from 2,250 AP to 4,500 AP per successful call. GET /v1/x/user/:username (100 AP) and GET /v1/x/timeline/:username (2,250 AP) stay the same. Cache hits and failed fetches stay free, and account-ownership verification stays free.
