GetOrders not returning recent orders from past 24 hours

GetOrders is no longer returning recent orders - problem started yesterday evening with recent orders taking many hours past the order time, before they were returned.

 

There are no orders for today on my applications, getorders is not returning any orders (the applications have been returning orders fine for years). Messages and other API calls are working fine and returning what they should - but GetOrders is returning nothing unless I set the ModTimeFrom back over a day and then it doesn't return any orders for today.

 

Ebay web is showing plenty of orders for today so they should be returned.

 

I have renewed keysets and it has made no difference. No errors are being returned, just zero orders are there to download.

 

This is for ebay UK btw.

GetOrders not returning recent orders from past 24 hours

Having experimented with GetOrder calls - it seems now you MUST specify the ModTimeTo input field, when using ModTimeFrom - otherwise you can't return any orders without setting ModTimeFrom back over 24 hours from the current time.

 

This is despite the GetOrders API reference stating:

 

'If the ModTimeFrom field is used and the ModTimeTo field is omitted, the 'TimeTo' value defaults to the present time'

 

Specifying the current Ebay official time in the ModTimeTo field (along with the appropriate ModTimeFrom) has fixed the issue - however I should not have to specify it as it should default to the present time as stated above.

 

This is a change from expected behaviour which has been the case since these filters were introduced in 2010.
