Description of Issue
The number of tweets collected is lower than they should be. There is a limit of 2000 but not all tweets are being read. A simple test to see there are more tweets is to change c.Since = '2022-05-01' and see than in only 1 month there are about 300 tweets. In the twitter website you can see more tweets than what is being returned
