* **Findings:** The minimal `part` parameters to retrieve essential chat message information (author's name, message content, and author's unique ID for persistent colors) are `snippet,authorDetails`. This will incur a cost of 5 quota points per request.
* **Conclusion:** While minimal parameters are identified, the base cost of 5 quota points per request still makes continuous polling unsustainable for the project's goal.
### Action 3: Intelligent Polling Refinement
* **Investigation:** Explored advanced adaptive polling strategies beyond `pollingIntervalMillis`, potentially incorporating machine learning to predict chat activity and adjust polling frequency.
* **Findings:** While intelligent polling is a valuable concept for API management, it does not offer a viable path to a sustainable, quota-friendly solution for *continuous, real-time YouTube Live Chat using the official API*. Its application to `pytchat` is also not directly beneficial as `pytchat` already adapts its polling based on YouTube's internal signals.
* **Conclusion:** Not a primary solution for continuous chat fetching using the official API; not directly beneficial for `pytchat`.
## Next Steps
* Proceed with "Intelligent Polling Refinement" as outlined in `DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.md`.
* Continue with other phases of the revised research plan, keeping the compliance and fragility risks of `pytchat` in mind.
