    Could you please include an example of the call you make and the result you receive.
    As a quick test I just tried ek.get_data(['LCO6350E8'],['BID','ASK','TIMACT']), and I got back
    Instrument BID ASK TIMACT
    LCO6350E8 1.87 1.9 20:16:21
    In the above the timestamp on the quote (the value of TIMACT field) is current and the same as in Eikon Quote app. In other words I'm not reproducing the issue you describe.

    This is non-reproducible right now, there is not a delay on my api now with unchanged code. According to an email, i suspect 'permissions to the real time data in our database' have been updated.

    thank you for your help.

    time.sleep(5)   # Delays for 5 seconds. You can also use a float value.import time
