It's as if twitter just stops returning results for you - but that doesn't happen for me.

Can you try another search, one this account has not performed before
#cats

for example. Try and scrape 100 results. Can you get 100 results for this search?

Could it be because I'm using a VPN? I'm only using TD for 1 account, so I don't want to bother with proxies I just like it being on the VPN IP.

It's possible? Do you need to use a VPN? Are you in a country where it's required?
If not, try without.

did you try another search? #cats for example to see if it's SEARCH_TERM based?

and that appeared to work without issue
16:34:47: Handle results: 100 nextstep: 3/2
16:34:47: End of chain: Store results: 100
16:34:47: Finished search: results: 100
16:34:47: Results: 100
so search CAN work for you, but the other hashtag does not.

Can you try someother random searches, see if you can get 100 results or 200 results.

IF you have access to another account on a different IP can you try your hashtag search that is NOT working.

It's rare, but not unheard of for an account to be restricted to a hashtag search, due to overuse.

It's still doing it for following... so frustrating, I'm trying different hashtags and even without the "#" and it will follow 1 person and stop. Ugh.

I downloaded Instadub and started using it again on the same machine and it follows any hashtag just fine, always completes the number of follows that I set it to.

Were you able to run the tests I asked about above?
Different account?
Use your home IP not the VPN.
