I am creating a crypto strategy that will utilise a dynamic universe, so I have set up a basic script to log the universe constituents over time as a first validation step.
It seems to work as intended through previous years, but i have noticed that the data / universe constituents appear to be unavailable for approximately the last 3 months / 90 days (the log outputs cease at Dec 11th 2023 to current date). Am I doing something wrong or is this a fundamental limitation in the data source?

Based on the information provided in the extracts, it's not clear why your universe constituents would stop being logged for the last 3 months. The extracts do not indicate any limitations in the data source that would cause this issue.
However, it's worth noting that the data you're using is from the Binance Crypto Price dataset. If there's an issue with the data for the last 3 months, it might be a problem specific to this dataset.
Here's a snippet of your code for adding a universe of Cryptocurrencies:
If you're still having issues, I would recommend reaching out to the QuantConnect community or support for more specific help. They might be able to provide more insight into potential issues with the Binance Crypto Price dataset.

Fyi I have tried using alternative data sources such as the Coinbase Crypto price dataset, however the same issue presents

I look to be having a similar issue. I can change the date to something later than 12/10 and get the expected results. Apologize for any code formatting issues, the message box is covered by the page footer and the wysiwyg doesn't work geat.

Hey JuicyMoosey and Nick
I ran both of your codes and was not able to reproduce the behavior you are facing with.
1) Code by JuicyMoosey
Reference backtest
I'm getting values for the march month too.
2) Code by Nick
Reference backtest
Let me know if you are still facing issues with data or if I'm understanding your problems differently.
Happy to help.
Cheers,
Ashutosh

Hey Ashutosh, thanks for the response. I cloned your algorithm and do not get the same results. I have a Researcher plan, are there any date limitations with account plans?
