So i have added a new post on TT, run the script again and the new post was synced, but the older posts still dont get synced.
Still, it seems that in the original run in only synced 30 posts and there's no way to sync older ones?

HTTP error 429 usually means "too many requests" and you triggered some API limit on your Mastodon server. Please try again later.

The program only syncs new posts, if it sees a post being on both platforms then it considers all older posts already synced. There is currently no way to synchronize older posts as the program is designed to sync future/new posts. Otherwise it could get out of hand quickly as it would try to synchronize your whole Twitter or Mastodon history which is not feasible and will flood your followers with many old posts that get synced at once.

Hope that helps!
