Ask HN: Can you access old HN posts?

I've been trying to access some old posts, and I just see a 'Sorry.' message.

Is that happening to all?

This is the newest post I can see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47233969 (I did a good old binary search :D)

Got it, so basically anything before 2 weeks ago is gone. Txs!

The API still works fine tho, i.e. via https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/<n>.json

I wouldn't say it works fine. There are problems starting with item id of 47398575. There are many items where the API returns "null" (that is the complete body in the reponse). However, the items are there if you view them without the API (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47398575).
