This week, Twitter announced a new policy that warns accounts that haven’t shown activity in more than six months may be permanently deactivated.

"We encourage people to actively log in and use Twitter when they register an account," the policy states. "To keep your account active, be sure to log in and Tweet at least every 6 months. Accounts may be permanently removed due to prolonged inactivity."
