the flag -p takes a unix timestamp. You can check if you provided a correct value by going to https://ask.fm/<username>?older=<p>.
Examples:
https://ask.fm/askfm?older=1729884034
https://ask.fm/askfm?older=75you can inspect the database file and find the oldest timestamp stored in there and use that as a a value for -p.
That said, this tool is no longer maintained, but I plan on releasing a new one soon that can archive an entire profile including chats/threads and it will be faster and will have better recovery mechanism for errors and interruptions.

Hey, Askfm is having problems with 500 server errors, but trying to continue using -p flag doesn't seem to work?

Am I doing something wrong?
