GET/v1/comments/tree

Full nested comment tree for a post, with a real comment count. 1 credit per call. One call returns the whole tree, so there's no pagination — cursor/has_more are always null/false. Fresh posts (under ~36 hours old) can briefly report a score of 1 and 0 comments on GET /v1/posts — use this endpoint for live comment counts instead.

An invalid or malformed post_id comes back as a 400 (credit refunded, see Errors) — retrying with the same bad id won't help.

Param	Type	Default	Notes
post_id *	string	—	With or without the t3_ prefix.
limit	integer	50	1–500.
