Solution

Consider changing the library or waiting for someone to fix twikit error

[alvwin]

Hmm, it was working last week, let's see if the error gets fixed in twikit, otherwise we can look to change the library

Does It still work for you?

[alvwin]

Nope

[manudev-1]

@alvwin I don't know if you made some changes but now it works perfectly

[AKSMA]

I honestly don't know, as you can read from previous messages the problem resolved itself

It seems to be an oddity of twikit, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Maybe looking into a change of library is the way to go here
