I get mixed results when I try this so I thought I'd ask if anyone else knows of any documentation, etc that explains what happens - the problem is when you access a protected users feed on Twitter, does that count towards your API rate limit?
Thanks,

Based on Twitter's documentation page for user_timeline , it is counted towards your rate limit. Regardless of whether the user is protected or public.
Rate Limited
true
