Since last few days I’ve been getting inconsistent tweets when using GET statuses/user_timeline. Sometimes instead of retrieving the last tweet I’m getting either an empty list i.e. , or a tweet from few days ago. I know more people faced similar issues.
From my tests it seems to be happening to large accounts such as elonmusk, possibly too many requests for this particular account?
Have you tried the same accounts on the v2 API?
For very high volume and high traffic accounts, be aware that the Twitter API is highly distributed and eventually consistent. We strive to provide current information but like any large scale system, you may see unexpected behaviours at high volumes.
