Any news? If this is a known problem, please postpone the sunset of 201109 until it's sorted out, if not - please give us a hand to sort out what we're doing wrong. As the things stand, starting the next Monday, we will be presenting our clients with totally fake and seemingly random data, even if we've been waiting for two weeks now for an answer (I sent an email to the support team before creating that thread here). I'm sorry to say it, but that's an example of a really poor (if not lacking at all) support job!
