Hello all,
I don't understand why i should give my credit card to execute backtests. Yesterday all was working but today, i can't launch my algo anymore and i have the message : Verify Your Account by Linking Your Credit Card. So the number of backtest is limited everyday ? When i will be able to run my code again ?
Thanks you for answers

Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems that QuantConnect uses a system called QuantConnect Credit (QCC) for certain operations. According to the documentation, QCC is used to enable micropayments on QuantConnect. You can use QCC to optimize parameters, download datasets, gift to members in the forum, and apply to your organization's monthly invoice.
However, the extracts do not specifically mention that a credit card is required to execute backtests. It's possible that the requirement to link a credit card is related to the use of QCC, but without more specific information, it's hard to say for sure.
If you're seeing a message asking you to verify your account by linking your credit card, it might be a good idea to reach out to QuantConnect's support team for clarification. They should be able to provide more specific information about why you're seeing this message and what you can do to resolve it.
