Hey, so I modified your script to print out what it was overwriting. Like literally just these five lines:

count += 1
print(f"Comment.id {comment.id}“)
print(f"Comment.permalink https://www.reddit.com{comment.permalink}”)
print(f"Comment.body\n{comment.body}“)
print(f"Count: {count}”)

I saw something similar, but since I have this extra detail, I was able to determine that the content the script overwrote is staying overwritten. Rather, it’s that Reddit’s API is not returning everything to us. More details at https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than

TLDR; it may be the case that we’re finding other content too old that got missed by the script rather than reddit undeleting/unediting stuff the script found.

There’s another script out there on github that uses Pushshfit’s API to get around this, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than#entry-comment-202228

Not sure if that will keep working past June 30, so we need to look into that asap.
