This could have been due to Twitter's rate limit: automated queries are limited to 350 per hour. I thought I was automatically limiting the number of requests to 180 per hour, but apparently other requests also count towards this limit. I have now made the code robust to exceeding the rate limit: if this occurs, the previously cached tweets are displayed instead.
