I upgraded to the unlimited data thing for $9 per month. I was wondering how long until it goes into effect? I’m trying to run a program that uses many tickers and I’m still getting the:
sleep 3 seconds and retrying [https://data.alpaca.markets/v1/bars/day](https://data.alpaca.markets/v1/bars/day) 3 more time(s)…
So does it take a certain amount of time, or is there something I have to do? I created a new api key, and this is for backtrading (historical data) on paper account, not live.

I think I might be using v1…do I have to use v2 with the unlimited plan? My whole thing was all written over a year ago…anyone know how to convert it all from v1 to v2??
