RetryOnRateLimit automatically reset #142
Description
Hi,
I'm trying to get the friends for some users but encountered a weird problem:
Basically it looks like the RetryOnRateLimit number is automatically reset after 15 or 16 trials, and I'm not sure why it cannot return the friend list after over 45 trials -- the Twitter api rate limit has a 15-min window but 45 trials equals about 45 minutes that definitely should move into the next window.
Using the same code I've successfully pulled friend list for some users, so I'm not sure if this problem is caused by some specific issues on this particular user. The user id is 171337448 for purpose to reproduce the issue.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
