Understanding X Search Limitations
When using this connector, users should be aware of the following limitations:
Time Limit: Only tweets from the past 7 days can be retrieved.
Quota: There is a limit on the number of queries based on the user's account quota.
Rate: The API retrieves around 500-1000 records per minute, so processing may take longer if a large record limit is set
