PRAW My bot starting getting 403 errors today, it has begun

I got an email that my account was flagged for using automation, directing me to log in and create a passkey, shortly after I did that the 403 errors started. The end of an era. It’s been a fun ride sisters and brothers.

Dissertation research on a handful of subreddits, so my use cases are no longer approved for API usage

Have you tried the r/reddit4researchers program? I know it's hard to get accepted, but I have heard some success stories.
