[twitter-dev] Incorrect Status Count for one Person

[markdmia]

I'm calling the Statuses Friends API with:

https://twitter.com/statuses/friends.xml

and the information coming back is correct for everyone but one user.
Her last status information is stuck at Aug 22.  She has added many
statuses since then through the website but her status count remains
fixed at 3212.  Her current status count (viewed through the website)
is 3266 and her last status (as of now) was around 6:00pm August
25th.  This happened before and then it appeared to update correctly
for awhile but now it is stuck again.  Any ideas why??

Thanks!

Not much action on our posts.  What do you think?  Do we need to
report this issue as a bug?  Have you reported bugs to Twitter before?

 Hi there,

 I think there's been some problems with status counts recently -
 specifically some being too high.

 I'm calling the favourites method a lot, and updating cached user
 profiles from the favourited tweet's author info.  To see if the user
 profile is fresher than what I already have cached, I'm comparing the
 status count field - accepting that I'll be inaccurate if someone
 deletes a lot of tweets and their status count goes down.

 However, what I've found right now is that sometime my own status
 count was reported as being about 20 higher than what it is right now
 (on website and with a user call) - and I certainly haven't deleted 20
 tweets recently.

 Has there been a bug with status counts recently, or is there are
 reason they are sometimes higher than what the website reports?

 I think this is true with many users - but I've used myself as the
 test case as I know I haven't deleted that many tweets.  Over time I
 have, but not within the last month.

 Cheers,

 Tim.
