Hi there! Hope this is in the right spot. I recently started using Alpaca and have been working on developing a paper trading algorithm, and I’ve noticed that a lot of the data returned by the API is old. Specifically, I’m calling get\_barset with a limit of 360 and an interval of 1Min, which should return the last 6 hours of trading data in 1 minute increments. When I actually examine the data, however, the data frequently has its start point a week or two ago. Meaning that for a lot of the stocks, a lot of the data is significantly older than what I had requested. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this just normal? ---
