 # YouTube Live Chat in Terminal
 
+---
+
+> **ARCHIVED PROJECT**
+> 
+> This project is considered archived and is no longer in active development. 
+> 
+> **Reason:** It relies on the YouTube Data API v3, which has significant quota limitations (10,000 points/day). Continuous polling for live chat messages quickly exhausts this quota, making this approach unsustainable for long-term or frequent use.
+> 
+> **Recommendation:** For a more sustainable and quota-friendly solution, please refer to the **`youtube-chat-webhook-v2`** project. That project explores alternative methods for fetching YouTube live chat data that do not rely on the official API and its restrictive quotas.
