I've further narrowed down the breakage point to between these two items, at least when initially checked (both now fail).

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42937148 (works)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42937147 (fails)

(Also via email.)

This suggests an item-count or time-based sliding window to me.

As I write this, earliest accessible content is <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42937674> ... and that's just become inaccessible as I'm updating this comment.

And I've identified that it's the 1,000,000 most recent comments/posts which are accessible:

I just checked against oldest accessible article (at this writing), and subtracted that from the newest comment (from the "comments" titlebar link):

43938990 - 42938990 = 1000000

Others can confirm this by going to the newest comment, and subtracting 1000001 from the contentID to find the first inaccessible comment.
