Yes, this is an unfortunate uncertainty that's a result of the way
we're forced to cache some things in our current system.  In the next
version, every active user will be able to get their friends_timeline
going back a fixed number of days.

 H, if I read you correctly then it is 6 hours for me, could be 3
 for a user following more people and up to 12 for someone following
 few people. This introduces uncertainty as one cannot know if there
 were no tweets during a particular timeframe or one has reached that
 moving limit. Any way to tell? We're showing twitts per hour and these
 two conditions would be displayed differently.

 Depending on how many people you follow, we may not have your
 friends_timeline going back that far.  The more people you follow, the
 bigger that timeline is, and the less we can store for long durations.

  The documentation for friends_timeline indicates that if you pass a

  6 hours back, and it's working perfectly for those 6 hours...
  Any hints?

friends_timeline 24 hours

The documentation for friends_timeline indicates that if you pass a
since parameter you get up to 24 hours back. I am getting nothing past
6 hours back, and it's working perfectly for those 6 hours...
