Hello guys,

As we know you got limited amount of ~65K ticks and max 3 days back because it's expensive resource, that's happens when my side request from your feed a big time range and when that limitation is reached.
For examples requestTick of ESZ6 time range 9:30-10:30 (most of the time, more then 65K ticks on that time range)


1. Do you have any way to open these limitations? could be important for some users.
2. Let's say you can't open the 65K limitation then...What is the best approach?
3. Do you have any requests amount limitations?

I thought about requesting max size of 15 minutes from your feed, but that could flood your feed with many requests, in my calculation if we have 1440 minutes in a day and my side will request in chunks of 15 minutes that will send your side 96 requests for each day and 672 per week ... please let me know what do you think is the best approach... I will use chunks if it's ok by you.

I found that link, it doesn't mention any requests amount limitations

As API documentation states:

MaxTicks = 65536: Maximum amount of ticks which returns back to a client per one request

This limit of 65k ticks is per request. If a contract has more than 65k ticks, you can pull one request and then another request for a different time period. We typically go back from several days up to 10 days of tick history,.
