Volume drop in streaming API

80% reduction in tweets with coordinate data

Hi James, Can you send us a link to an example tweet where you geotagged and selected the "share precise location" toggle while geotagging, but are unable to see it in your filter?

So if you can send us an example we will take a look (may be best to publish a new tweet, make sure you're going through the whole flow, and then post a link to the tweet details page here).
