Trade service is Interactive Brokers. I have my number of days to download set to 1000 in Data/Trade Service settings.

However, when I download data for equity PLTR, I am seeing this in the log. Note the last 3 lines. Why is the Download start date-time a date in 2018, and then the next line says "Requesting a total of 7 days." Why 7 days?

Thanks.
