missing shards causing zero returns?

[gobbedy]

I just started using pushshift last week, it's awesome!

For the past 2 days any search in wallstreetbets, and several other subreddits i've tried, return incomplete number of shards, and no results

Here's an example:

https://api.pushshift.io/reddit/submission/search/?after=1612153136&before=1612196336&subreddit=wallstreetbets&filter=%5B%27title%27%2C&limit=1000&metadata=true

This returns 3 out of 4 shards:

        "shards": {
            "failed": 0,
            "skipped": 0,
            "successful": 3,
            "total": 4
        },

and no results:

 "total_results": 0

Does a missing shard mean part of the cluster is down?

Before that I was always getting successful = total, and many results. So I assume inactive shards are the problem?
