As the process of Enshittification continued, they shut down most if not all of the 3rd party options for posting, and they are now heavily restricting calls to their own api. Over the years we have had the scripts work for a period of a year or two, only to stop working. Sometimes going for months without anyone noticing. So I took to posting manually as a way to ensure that the posts were working. I need to split the post into two blocks so that it fits into the allotted space. Even this often requires manual editing to remove extra words to get it to fit. 
Thanks for the explanation. I am not surprised that manually is the best approach (not including the need for word-smithing) for Xitter.

It feels like the "juice is not worth the squeeze" at this point.

Cheers,
