Hi. I am trying to use the Twitter API to gather tweets information continuously 24 hours a day for three months. The rate limit at the moment is 720 tweets/hour, so it is about 500,000 tweets per month. Which plan do you recommend?

It depends on how much processing you intend to do with the tweets. If you're just storing them in a database and not doing any further processing, then a Hacker plan should do the job. If you're doing more... well, it depends.

BTW if you want to keep a process running constantly, it's best to do it from a scheduled task that restarts it if it's not already running. There are some instructions here.
