Use https://twitter.com/uotapo/media as URL to extract from the media timeline and not the regular tweet timeline. There is still an upper limit to how many tweets one can get (#186), but using /media is still a lot better than otherwise.

Maybe gallery-dl should always use the media timeline and ignore the regular one entirely, since this isn't the first time this has come up? Or maybe an FAQ section?

Sorry, I thought this is going to be a different situation, thanks for verifying. And yes, an FAQ section would be helpful.
