With the v2API, we can now harvest complete timelines. However, there is usually a discrepancy between the total tweet count retrieved, and the total that the Twitter website claims someone has posted. This is usually between 1 and 10% of tweets.

This is discussed in the community and is known about, I think the issue is that some tweets are deleted, or retweets from accounts that have been made private, or other edge-cases. So, for now I am leaving it because it seems a common issue, and is only minor.
