What will be the rate limit when accessing the API via Snoowrap? Does this count as being authentified?

Post Body

Hi,

I'm maintining a small script node.js application that makes frequent API calls to reddit and I'm a little bit worried about the upcoming changes.
I'm currently using the request library. If I understand correctly, the new rate-limit will be 10 calls/minute as I'm not authentified. If I start using Snoowrap with a username and password, will this count as being authentified and will the rate-limit be 100 calls/minute?

I'll be using this constructor:

const reddit = new Snoowrap({
    userAgent: /**/,
    clientId: /**/,
    clientSecret: /**/,
    username: /**/,
    password: /**/
});

which already allows me to make API calls needing oAuth (for instance getting the list of mods for a sub)

Sorry, if this question is dumb or doesn't make any sense, English is not my main language and I'm not a developer.
