problem with get_timeseries, Invalid RIC

i have been pulling historical data using get_timeseries and today it is returning 'Invalid RIC' for all.
if i copy this rics to eikon toolbar i see that it is in fact a valid ric with the data etc..

df = ek.get_timeseries(ric_lst[i:i + 4], fields=['CLOSE'], start_date=trade_time, end_da  te=end, interval='minute')

So I think there is a problem with your RICs - I tried this with a small c in the middle of the RIC (as it was in your ric list) and it returned invalid RIC - so maybe you should take a look at capitalising those.

@rafi.levy1 this is working at my end:

df = ek.get_timeseries('BYNDC042205100.U', fields=['CLOSE'], start_date='2022-02-15T00:00:00', end_date='2022-02-18T23:59:59', interval='minute')

df
