Thank you for the explanation.

I'm getting ready to release Finance::Quote v1.60 to CPAN. It
appears that AlphaVantage has again changed how they deal with
throttling for requests using the free API keys/tokens. This has
affected some users that may have data that requires doing more
than a handful of currency exchange calculations.

Is there any written description of what throttling behaviour F::Q observes from AlphaVantage?

No.… But, the free API key is limited to 25 queries per day. …[snip]…

What is the difference to a consumer like me of F::Q getting the
data from YahooJSON rather than from AlphaVantage?

No difference at all. I think a benefit of changing the default to YahooJSON is that user's would not be forced to get an AV API Key even if they don't have securities using AlphaVantage for the data source.

So, it appears that the proposed change will be transparent for a simpleminded user like me. In that case I have no objections.

I am really glad that you are willing to do, and then regularly re-do, the magic which makes this happen for me. Thank you!
