Get_tweet_by_id("tweet_id") failing. KeyError: 'itemContent' reply_next_cursor = entries[-1]['content']['itemContent']['value']

[retconned]

The library was working fine and suddenly it stopped working.
I attached the example code for a reproducible result,
all i do is get replies from a tweet, when testing i was adhering and going under to rate limits. the account is fine and not locked or suspended

Bug:

Main issue : await client.get_tweet_by_id("tweet_id")

[YukiteruDev]

Same issue here.

[vl4dvl4d]

Same! Stuck on await client.get_tweet_by_id(tweet.id)
Response: 'itemContent'

@d60 please check it, one of the most used functions disabled now

[Psychopumpum]

Remove the itemContent key on client.py line: 1635
reply_next_cursor = entries[-1]['content']['value']
