Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. There is a limitation in Powerdelete. Here is a link to a new version and alternatives:

The restores could also be rollbacks from the server issues or post haven't been properly deleted due to subs being private during blackouts.
Many have experienced the same issue, there is a discussion here on kbin:

I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.
The throttling is new. They may be doing that to discourage people scrubbing their accounts, though it could also be a load issue since a lot of people have been doing.
When I did it last weekend it seemed to work fine. I had to run it a couple of times, and it took a while, but in the end it seemed to get everything.
I used PowerDeleteSuite to edit and delete. You can configure it to just edit if you want.
Edits seem to be throttled to one every 5 seconds. I ran powerdeletesuite several times and it got most of my comments, but still not all.
