X's PIN-based OAuth 1.0a flow has been progressively degraded — 'Invalid oauth_verifier' and 'temporarily unavailable' errors are now common even with valid credentials. The faster path: developer.x.com → project → Keys and tokens → User Access Token → Generate. This produces access token + secret directly, bypassing the browser redirect dance entirely. Worth trying before fighting the PIN flow.
