Command Ran

Please provide the exact command ran including the username/search/code so I may reproduce the issue.

c = twint.Config()
c.Limit = 2000
c.Since = '2021-08-01'
c.Until = '2022-05-23'
c.Hide_output = True
c.Count = True
c.Search = 'abrdn'
twint.run.Search(c)

output
[+] Finished: Successfully collected 284 Tweets.

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
