What is happening with Infinity for Reddit currently? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I recently opened the app to ensure that it infact does not work anymore, but it just showed me the newest feed, like it did before. What is going on here? Are people funding this? Or have they switched to a third party API for read only?

Seems it could be because the new API rate limits weren't actually implemented on the 1st. They're going to be enforced in "the coming weeks".

I'd been looking into why another app (Boost, which will be shutting down) is still running as well.

Yes, Infinity and Relay still working makes sense since they are going subscription model, but Boost still functioning is an anomaly.

Edit: Apparently as per a post on r/boostforreddit which references a post on r/redditdev, Reddit said the API changes would take place over the coming weeks. Not completely on July 1st.
