I have recently been added to a private channel (few hours ago) and this channel is not visible to the exporter (it doesn't show when I run python3 slack_export.py --token xoxp-3950... --dryRun. Other private channels are visible. Is there a caching mechanism and/or a way to debug this?

Slack support has commented:

I took a deep dive into this and it looks like that particular third party is using an outdated method, namely groups.history. Currently, the way to do this would be to call
conversations.history here: https://api.slack.com/methods/conversations.history

I'll be trying to implement this fix.
