does timeline scraping lose users who delete their most recent logged tweet? #1

test using one of my bot accounts. Could use lookup_tweets to check whether the tweet is still live, but ideally only want to fire this off when there's reason to doubt

Test what happens when I delete the most recent logged tweet from a bot account. If it produces a specific type of error, then write code to detect that error and scrape back to a previous tweet that isn't deleted (recursive until non-deleted tweet found?) or scrape whole history and subset to tweets subsequent to the deleted tweet.
