I am using python. Occasionally I get the position details but some times I get the following error message.  
Failed to fetch positions. HTTP Status Code: 401  
Response: {“error”:{“code”:“expired\_signature”,“context”:{“request\_time”:1742373095,“server\_time”:1742373101}},“success”:false}

Hi @noushad , the error says that your local machine clock time is not synced with delta server time.

to rectify this you can update your local machine clock settings , and press sync to come to latest time. you can also turn it on to auto sync to avoid future errors.
