Twitter deleted my tweets?

[Curious Learner]

I had around 7,500 tweets on my account. One day (Dec. 8th, to be exact), I realized my tweet count went down to 200. I thought it was just another Twitter maintenance error or something, so I just shook it off. After 24 hours, it still didn't come back to 7,500+. I tried back-tracking my tweets, but nothing. It was cut off. All tweets before Nov. 29 got deleted.

This happened to me a few weeks ago but my tweets are now back ~
