Flickr is just limiting free accounts to 1000 photos. Full stop. That's it. And if you don't pay or delete your photos yourself, they will delete your oldest photos for you to get to that number.
If you are under a thousand photos then you won't be affected till you get to that magic number.
as I read the announcement from Flickr, you are correct
this is the cut and paste [ I have added nothing ]:
" Free accounts will soon be limited to 1,000 photos or videos. Flickr isn’t Flickr without the contributions and participation of our free members, and we remain committed to a vibrant free offering.
If you are a free member with more than 1,000 photos or videos, you will have ample time to upgrade to Pro (for 30% off your first year) or download your photos and videos.*
Read more about this decision. . . .
* Free members with more than 1,000 photos or videos uploaded to Flickr have until Tuesday, January 8, 2019, to upgrade to Pro or download content over the limit. After January 8, 2019, members over the limit will no longer be able to upload new photos to Flickr. After February 5, 2019, free accounts that contain over 1,000 photos or videos will have content actively deleted -- starting from oldest to newest date uploaded -- to meet the new limit. "
you can find the above language at the bottom of this link
