Hi everyone,
This error check has always existed in the search code, but most
people never see it. This is a sanity check on the since_id parameter
to prevent people using ones in the future. The problem yesterday was
specifically that several back-ends fell behind. If you hit an up-to-
date back-end and collected a max_id, then hit an out-of-date back-end
it would complain that you were using a since_id in the future from
its perspective. We've corrected most of the back-ends but we have a
few more upgrades this evening to fix the last few. Sorry for the
delayed reply but I need to focus on fixing and not email.
Thanks;

Dittoing Cameron here, Twitterfall isn't seeing it any more, though it
was practically disabling us last night and I was getting concerned,
because I slowed things down greatly but to no avail, and I thought
I'd missed some update about it.
The HTTP status code was 403 IIRC.
Another +1 for wondering what triggers the error.

Ditto. It seemed completely random to me. I know I was way under
the
search rate-limit. I haven't seen it lately either.
+1 for wondering what exactly throws this error?

Cameron, Chad, and the Tweetfall duo pinged me this afternoon to
let me
know there is a new error cropping up from the search API. The
error text is
"since_id too recent, poll less frequently".
What HTTP status code is associated with this error? Any hint
for how long
to wait before retries? Or is that dynamic?
The problem is that I'm not seeing it anymore, and I never got a
good handle
on what exactly caused it to trip. For example, you would think
thrashing it
with reloads would hit it every time, and it wasn't. I got reports
from
TTYtter users about it under intermittent circumstances and then
suddenly
they evapourated.
But if there's a simple condition I can use to determine when not
to send a
query, I'll gladly add it (i.e., what is 'too recent').
