I am noticing some strange behavior when trying to access the tweets of a “higher profile” twitter account.

A request to (actual account name removed):
/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=accountNameHere&count=1&trim_user=true&tweet_mode=extended&exclude_replies=true&include_rts=false

Returns an empty array with a 200 response code quite frequently (approximately half the requests) when trying to poll the account. This issue doesn’t seem to happen when trying to pull the user_timeline of low profile twitter accounts.

Are individual accounts impacted by higher API activity against them? Is there a way to address this?
