Unfortunately I (and a host of other bot makers) at the mercy of r/Pushshift, and there's not much we can do until Jason decides to turn it back on.
I am planning on doing some work on the bot over Christmas break, and I'll look into seeing if there's something I can do to bypass Pushshift for some data, seeing as it's become unreliable.

Thanks! Appreciate your hard work. I know it’s a thankless job and just hearing complaints for doing something for free / in your personal time...that’s frustrating. Not whining over here at all, your bot is helpful as-is.
Been trying to understand what Pushshift’s plan is. The cross posted thread reads (to me) like agg will be turned back on once the cluster was stabilized.
But the thread said “in an hour” and that’s from 1 month 9 days ago. Was hoping as you dev a major bot on Reddit, Pushshift would’ve given you a priority in updating plans.
