I recently upgraded to the latest "Xenith for Daily Charts" due to the 30 June deadline. After the upgrade, I encountered the following frustrating problems;

- Error "You have exceeded the maximum number of requests allowed by the Workspace API. Please try again later". I have not even completed 40% of the daily download. 

- Download sometimes freeze or become very slow if the download was not stopped by the "maximum number of requests allowed by Workplace API" error

Did anyone encounter the same problem?

This daily download service used to be so good in the past. What happened after the upgrade? The product is almost unusable now.

Can someone from Metastock please respond?

Hello,

Sorry to hear of the problems you've experienced downloading data. There is a rate limit of 20,000 symbols per day. If you are exceeding this number we may need to work with you to see where we can optimize your download folders to prevent this. If you need more than this you may also wish to contact our sales team to see if they can set up an additional (discounted) data package for you.

Beyond the 20,000 daily limit, we have heard from users of slow download speeds. This has been reported to our development team to see what can be done in these cases, although I do not have a specific resolution date at this time.

If you are collecting a large amount of history, your initial download may be slower than subsequent downloads. If you have already collected the full history, you may also want to try:

1. Breaking your folders up into smaller download requests (i.e if you have 10 folders, try downloading 2 folders at a time and potentially scaling up until you find the optimal download speed.)

Beyond this we may need to get more details on your specific workflow to see if anything else can improve your download speeds. We will continue looking into ways we can improve the download experience from our end as well.
