Project 4 (Reddit Bot) Issue #298

Closed jacksonaldrich closed 1 year ago

Hello Mike,

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I have been running my bot over break, but ever since I got to valid_comments= 995, it has stayed there even though the other numbers are increasing. What should I do?

Thanks, Jackson

Follow up: I tested it by manually adding a handful of comments and none of the numbers changed. Do you think it is "stuck" at 995 even though there are more than 1,000?

I realized that the bot counter file only "maxes" out at 1000 such that it might be impossible to reach the valid_comments= 1000 even though I have many more than 1,000.

Nevermind, I realized that the API only checks the most recent 1000
