- This is question about the historical_pricing endpoint using Refinitiv Workspace. I am making this call through the Python library refinitiv.data.content and using the historical_pricing object.
response = historical_pricing.events.Definition(universe=tickers,start=start_datetime,end=end_datetime).get_data()
When I pass more than one tickers to the universe argument, it tends to time out. I'm asking for 15 minute windows of data for say two symbols: CLM25, ESM25.
The error I get is this:

Is there a limit to the amount of data I can retrieve using the historical_pricing object? Can multiple concurrent requests be made through this object?
2. Also can concurrent requests not be made using the historical_pricing object from the refinitiv.data.content library? If I make concurrent requests with different symbols to this object:
It seems to forbid that. Is that correct? I'm doing this because passing multiple tickers in a 15 minute interval leads to a timeout.
