I am polling the search API every 60 seconds and intermittently
receiving the following error:

{"error":"since_id too recent, poll less frequently"}

Is this behavior to be expected or is there some problem?

That usually happens when the search servers get out of sync and the
since_id tweet hasn't been indexed on the other server(s) yet, so it
thinks it's a tweet from the future.

Here is another thread pseudo-related to the issue.
