Missing tweets and no error raised by client when using searchStream

[blombern]

I'm using searchStream to receive tweets that happen a handful times a day. I seem to be unable to achieve this reliably. All the filter rules are simply tweets by specific users.

Expected behavior

I would expect to either receive the tweets, or an error to indicate a dropped connection or similar.

Actual behavior

I receive no tweets and no errors. It seems to deliver tweets sometimes, but once it misses one it seems to stay that way.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Create a searchStream with a rule like from:username -is:retweet -is:reply where username tweets a few times a day. Keep connection open, wait until it stops delivering tweets.

Maybe I'm wrong to assume that I should be able to get every new tweet by a user while the connection is open?
