View submission: Update on COLO switchover -- bug fixes, reindexing and more

Thats unfortunate, I needed to get the top post of a subreddit of all time. Is there any news or updates as to when can the older data be up?

Scores are inaccurate in Pushshift due to the way Pushshift works: It pulls something once and then never again.* If you look at scores within the last month the majority will likely be around 1, some may be over that if ingest got behind but it'll still be wrong.

occasionally things get re-ingested but that's rare and the scores are still probably going to be off and you can't count on that.

PRAW is the solution here.
