Twint: CRITICAL:root:twint.feed:Follow:IndexError for any call

import twint
import os, requests, re, time

c = twint.Config()
c.Username = <anyusername> #Replace with an actual uname in quotes
c.Store_object = True
c.Limit = 10
try:
    twint.run.Followers(c)
except:
    print("Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0])
f = twint.output.follows_list
print(f)

Output

CRITICAL:root:twint.feed:Follow:IndexError
[]

Have done

pip install twint
pip install --upgrade -e git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git@origin/master#egg=twint  

Googling, a lot of people have faced this error - but I cannot really find a solution

Running the twint command line also gives the same error

twint -u <uname> --followers
CRITICAL:root:twint.feed:Follow:IndexError

This is not only followers. Anything I try, I get a similar error.

Running Python 3.8.1 on Windows 10
Twint - latest version - 2.1.21
