Twitter did not always limit usernames to 15 characters: in a dataset of 418,329,839 usernames, there are
21 16-character,
8 17-character,
5 18-character, and
2 20-character usernames which tweeted something since ~2017 (and most accounts still exist)
This will be missing some users that tweeted infrequently or never after 2017.
