Trouble getting intraday data for several 2020 contracts

I am trying to get intraday data for a couple of 2020 contracts. I can get daily historical data for both contracts, March 20 3 month Eurodollar, also May 20 Soymeal. I cannot get intraday however. If I hit delete data and download under edit I get 5 bars on the Soymeal 15 minute chart on the far left and it says download failed. When I delete and reload data on the Eurodollar I just get a blank chart if I am on the 15 minute chart. I was having the same trouble with the 2020 May beans for the last week but now it is fine. It does the same thing if I try any time frame other than daily.

I am using Gain as my data feed and everything is fine on their OEC platform, no problems at all, except the platform sucks. I also have 30 contracts available through Gain but am only using 26. I know all about the 5 contract limit but had my broker up it to 30. I have no problems except for the 2020 contracts. Also I am using version 1966 of SC.

I just upgraded to 1991 and having the same problem.

GEH20 is the 3 month Eurodollar, and ZMK20 for the May bean meal

Ok we see what the problem is. This is now resolved. Full historical data will be available for these contracts Sunday evening.

At that time re-download all the data in the chart by going to the chart and selecting "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download". You just need to do this once per symbol and not for each chart.

I have the ZMK20 working fine on intraday, however the GEH20 only shows about 20 bars on the 15 minute chart. It is fine on the daily chart. I also deleted and reloaded the data and no change.
