Post From: Rules that constitutes 1 historical data request?

Hello,

I have been looking at these pages:

Sierra Chart Historical Data Service

Downloading Historical Daily Data


So, if I am correct, there is 2 ways to download historical data: automatically and manually.
And, there is request limit of 30.000 requests per month, which can be extended with additional fee.

However, it is not clear what constitutes 1 request exactly?

For example, how many requests would be required to download 6 month of tick-by-tick data for 1 futures contract? Provided I manually request the correct range of data, will SC split the download into multiple requests, if yes, could you maybe share the logic?

Also, if said download does get timed out for any reason (most probably due to very very long time running...), will it count as 1 download nonetheless?

Finally, how can I check my current monthly requests usage?


Thank you !!!
