I used to use the method of putting your password and username in the config file, it was the best because it was the most practical, but since yesterday when I went to download images from an artist with a lot of posts it started to give this error, I wouldn't even comment here about this error if the method of using cookies worked instead, and to a certain extent it does work, the problem is that this error occurs even with it, and there is even a way to solve this problem by just updating the cookies, but unfortunately it is not a sure thing since depending on how many images you download or how many images you download in a space of time the error happens again, and the problem is that if you are persistent using the cookie method you can have your account suspended, which occurred to me, I can just create another account, but that would make the process of downloading things from twitter a lot more tiring, especially if you have a lot of artists to download things from.

The cached login session probably "expired", but you might be able to still use it by editing your cache file (%APPDATA%\gallery-dl\cache.sqlite3 by default on Windows) with for example DB4S and increasing the expires timestamp value of the gallery_dl.extractor.twitter._login_impl-USERNAME entry.

gallery_dl.extractor.twitter._login_impl-USERNAME

sadly i don't think this gonna work because one of the things that i did trying to fix this error was cleaning my twitter cache (i forgot to mention that in the comment srry), the fact that i don't see this entry anywhere and just gallery_dl.extractor.twitter._guest_token may already say this,
