Seems to be if you’ve been a steady, daily poster, you only get to tunnel back a year before you hit the post limit.
The older posts are archived and you can no longer reach them via one’s profile page.
This happened about the time the IPO rolled out and few people noticed it.
As I’m big on being patient on these things, and also sorta noticed how the other social media platforms work, (facebook was my main teacher) it made sense to wait and see what rolled out instead of getting what I could then saying “fuck it” and deleting the account.
Glad I was patient as once I saw it, the penny dropped. Facebook does the same thing in that as you delete your comments from your home page, it dips into your older posts to pull up stuff you’d put up years ago… First on your own page, then on friends pages. (It’s the latter comments that people make which keeps them in facebook’s system even if they delete their account.)
It’s built to positively affirm your presence on the site, so if you get all your current stuff deleted and maintain the account it WILL crack open the archived posts so you can get to them.
I was honestly pleasantly surprised when I saw this, and instantly understood how to work it.
Seems like everyone’s copied facebook in that aspect. Constant engagement starting with YOU, right?
Nope.

Easy peasy once you understand how it rolls.
