Intermittent Error 400 (Invalid Cursor) from Helix Streams API

[xokocodo]

Brief description Around 12:30 PT on 2020-04-17 I began seeing errors with pagination on the Helix Streams endpoint. Here is the response: Body: {"error":"Bad Request","status":400,"message":"invalid cursor"}

Here is an example chain of pagination before hitting the error:

How to reproduce Hit https://api.twitch.tv/helix/streams?first=100&type=all and continue following the page tokens (after) until sometimes (~50%) hitting the error.

Expected behavior It should paginate normally without any errors.

I confirm, I have the same error since today. It is random.

I am facing the same issue. It was working fine yesterday, but today I get this error very often.

I did some tests and you have to retry the cursor when this happens. It seems the cursor is invalid for a certain moment then it works fine.

Confirmed it works on retry - thanks!!
