I'm seeing the same thing on the web interface: the 'Replies' tab on profile pages is empty. This looks like a bug on Twitter's side.

looks like the UserTweets api call works and has data returned, but UserTweetsAndReplies is busted on Twitters end.. call returns 200, but has no data in timeline_v2

Twitter has blocked every unregistered user from viewing tweets. Is this related?

not related.. the UserTweets api endpoint is still returning data... UserTweetsAndReplies is still b0rk3d.
