Does that give you access to all the features, or do you still need to pay?

Haven't used the official server, but I've been using the official clients with bitwarden_rs without issues for the past week. So I'd guess its a complete reimplementation.

Can you use it for teams as well?

The readme mentions support for Organizations, so I'm guessing that's what you are after (haven't used it myself)

Yes

I'm not talking about API compatibility so much, but I think I read somewhere that you need to get a license even if you use a custom server. So all the custom server gives you is it decouples you from the main service.

Do you get TOTP support and Organizations on your custom server for free?

EDIT: I just tried it, and yes, you do get (at least) TOTP support for free. Haven't tried orgs, but I'm going to convert it for Dokku now and host it somewhere as a backup plan.

I use orgs and it seems to work properly.

I don't think this is the case. There's really no way to use the license with a custom server anyway.

I think you still need to pay. Data is brokered through the official bitwarden servers (I think), so things like teams will still require payment to use. I'm not 100% sure though, so I could be wrong.

No, you don't need to pay. I host it my self and have access to Organizations/Teams

No, bitwarden_rs has nothing to do with the official servers; it’s a full backend, using a database of its own, SQLite by default. As regards normally paid features, it essentially just tells any frontend “yes, the user has paid” and proceeds to implement the feature itself.
