[twitter] is this right config setting? (+suspension question

[mmoisall]

my goal is to get all media from user. for example download all image and video in "https://x.com/dknrbssntri/media" would be good if gallery-dl search to only the media posts, no retweets and text only tweets.

wonder why it keeps running even when it reaches to existing previously downloaded image. it just spend more minutes doing nothing before end downloading. i want to stop gdl instant when it reaches already downloaded image. what is the option for that?

gallery-dl --filter "datetime(2024,9,29,4,38,24) <= date" http://x.com/intent/user?user_id=3120329819

-my twitter config

"twitter": {
  "directory": ["twitter - {user[id]} - {user[nick]} -"],

  "locked": "wait",
  "conversations": true,
  "size": "orig",
  "user": "media",
  "twitpic": true,
  "text-tweets": false,
  "metadata": true
},

-twitter suspending question downloading media of a single user a lot doesn't usually get suspend but downloading few(1~10) from many users each get ben easily why is this?

also please give some advice for account suspension

My config looks like this. [I'm using on Termux(Android app)]

"twitter": {
    "logout": true,
    "#username": "#",
    "#password": "#",
    "cookies": {
        "auth_token": "#"
     },
    "cards": false,
    "include": "media",
    "expand": false,
    "quotes": true,
    "quoted": true,
    "retweets": false,
    "replies": "self",
    "conversations": false,
    "transform": true,
    "syndication": "extended",
    "users": "",
    "text-tweets": false,
    "twitpic": true,
    "videos": true,
    "unique": false,
    "sleep": [1.3,8],
    "sleep-request": [5,8],
    "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Android 14; Mobile; rv:131.0) Gecko/131.0 Firefox/131.0"
},

I have downloaded from many different users, sometimes two in parallel and have not been suspended.
