Hi there,
I use EUR currency for my store and just noticed the exchange rate is not updated
hourly as written in this guide : https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2115

For at least 6 hours : XE EURTRY exchange rate is way below 14.41 which can be
calculated from a displayed part/set on my store.

Has it been changed to once a day and that guide keeping the old wording?

Regards,

Nejat

That Help Page is out of date for many years now. XE currency rates are updated
once per day, not once per hour. I will fix the Help Page presently.

Russell,
You left a reference to "once an hour" in the "additional rules" section at the
bottom, in the first bullet.

Why not just mention the once every 24 hours once in the page near the top, then
say "frequently" in the text instead of referring to the actual rate. That way,
when it is updated, you don't get errors due to repeated information not
being updated.
