pytx- why does a day return more ThreatDiscriptors than a month? about threatexchange

There is an ongoing issue with inaccurate results that isn't pytx related. For some reason you can perform the same query one after the other and you'll get less, more, or the same results as the previous run of the same query. There's several conversations about it in the Facebook group. You can make the problem slightly less troublesome by bumping the limit up to something like 1000, but it doesn't resolve the underlying problem.

You can also turn on logging and tail the log while you run these queries and loop over them. You can see the cursor changing and it following the next URI until there isn't one to follow. As far as pytx knows, that's the end of the results.
