Gotcha on the follow. At one point I was calling https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows successfully but that may have been a while ago.
I am able to connect to the chat and read the messages as they come in, however writing messages is not working.
Is there documentation handy for what would cause being globalled? The chat bot does not post very frequently. However, it does post from just a small series of messages, so across all channels the messages are not very unique. Would that cause an issue?
