What? That doesn’t make any sense, why would they suddenly ask for payment to use their own API?

I mean the user initiates the login flow and gets the token, why does it matter how many users Relay has?

In order to make requests to reddit's API via OAuth, you must acquire an Authorization token, either on behalf of a user or for your client

Maybe I am misunderstanding how API pricing for reddit works though. Do they count it against the app id and not the user?

Apps that make fewer than 100 queries per minute using OAuth authentication

This is what Reddit allows for free, why is Relay asking for 1$ when using 50 queries a day?

Edit: Nevermind, reddit apparently counts access against the app-id and not the logged in user. So this would only work if you could use your own app-id within Relay which isn’t possible.
