Why does Twitter API return the error 'If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level?'

Question

I'm trying to use this function with Python

def create_thread(message_text, media_ids=None):
    tweets = [message_text[i:i + 280] for i in range(0, len(message_text), 280)]
    if media_ids:
        response = client_v1.update_status(status=tweets[0], media_ids=media_ids)
    else:
        response = client_v2.create_tweet(text=tweets[0])
    for tweet in tweets[1:]:
        response = client_v2.create_tweet(text=tweet, reply_settings={'reply': {'id': response.id}})
    return response

I Have Elevated Access in Twitter and I pay for the Basic plan, which includes the access that I am trying to use in Twitter API V2 and V1.1, but when I try to use this function, it returns the error:

response = client_v1.update_status(status=tweets[0], media_ids=media_ids)
tweepy.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden
453 - You currently have access to Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api#v2-access-leve

Table of benefits of basic plan

The function tweets a post with an image and a caption

Answer 1

UPDATE_STATUS in api v1.1 is deprecated and they didnt updated the documentation and the table of benefits for Free/ basic / premium plan.

The solution: Change update_status function to create tweet

Before:

response = client_v1.update_status(status=tweets[0], media_ids=media_ids)

Correct:

response = client_v2.create_tweet(text=tweets[0], media_ids=media_ids)

the documentation says that create tweet doesn't work with media_ids, but it worked. Also, I have been trying update_status with the text being sent as Status=tweets[0], but must be exchanged to text=tweets[0]
