Do we at this point have any substantial data on just how many users Reddit actually lost due to this?
Any resources would be greatly appreciated.
As a sidenote, I’ll add that they certainly lost my account the second I couldn’t use RiF anymore.

That’s talking about something different. In order to access the API the app needed a token which authorised the use. It’s those that were revoked and early.
That post is talking about rate limiting for very small free apps.
Some people have created patched versions of bigger apps which allows the user to insert their own to gain access. It’s unclear yet whether Reddit will allow this.
That’s fair, but people are experiencing no rate limits on certain apps and their bots are still working is what I am saying. As in, some api tokens have not been revoked. It hasn’t been done completely yet, only in a targeted way for some apps it seems. Though, I actually haven’t seen any developers say their api was revoked from them, only that they pulled out early as to not risk some weirdness with possible charges.
The apps I am talking about working are not instances where users have inserted their own api tokens and do jot have api exceptions.
Go over to the infinity subreddit. It’s just a ton of people asking why the app still works completely fine without a subscription or charged api update.
So, I think my original point stands. Many apps and bots work just fine because the api keys have not been pulled and api rate limits haven’t been put in effect since reddit didn’t make their own deadline to uniformly manage either thing.
