Does the aggs/ticker with Stocks Basic not include the current day?

I am trying to fetch the 5 minute data for the current day (or just past hour would be sufficient) and it seems no matter what I put for from/to it always says that “Your plan doesn’t include this data timeframe”. For example:

https://api.polygon.io/v2/aggs/ticker/SPY/range/5/minute/2025-02-24/2025-02-24?apiKey=MY_API_KEY

I understand that other realtime APIs like Websocket and Snapshot require Stocks Starter, but I don’t see anything about this limitation. Am I doing something wrong?

The Basic plan doesn’t provide access to current-day intraday data, which is likely why you’re seeing that message. Instead, it typically allows only historical data for previous days.

If you need 5-minute data for the current day, you might want to consider upgrading to the Stocks Starter plan, which includes access to real-time data via Websocket and Snapshot, as well as current intraday data.
