There are still some bitcoin faucets or it's like mining small fractions that go along with altcoin mining.
But, they are almost worthless because of how small it is and you won't be able to withdraw because like what you have said there is a withdrawal limit that it's impossible for a non-refer to reach to or otherwise the platform doesn't allow you so for a period of time.
So, yeah pretty much those free gold days are over, but you can still buy your own bitcoin, it's the same kind of treasure the only difference is that you're paying this time.
