Hi Stephane,

I used the following calculation to obtain a four percent estimate for
the spritzer stream:
  tweets_seen_in_stream / (max_tweet_id_seen_in_stream -
min_tweet_id_seen_in_stream)

Did you use the same methodology?

The four percent is probably a bit too low as I assume private tweets
get tweet_id:s too, which makes the denominator a bit too large due to
private tweets being included.
