Twitter recently increased it's Tweet character limit. The OP is suggesting this needs to be reflected in choqok as well. Without this change, choqok will cut off Tweets at a limit that is no longer relevant.

See: https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/product/2017/Giving-you-more-characters-to-express-yourself.html

Relevant excerpt: "We want every person around the world to easily express themselves on Twitter, so we're doing something new: we're going to try out a longer limit, 280 characters, in languages impacted by cramming (which is all except Japanese, Chinese, and Korean)."

This was fixed in early February as part of bug 370260.
