WLP never missed it even once but WLD didn't start automated daily update scheduled at 7am EST.
WLD may skip the scheduled data update by any chance?

How does the data update log look like?

What provider entries are checked?

After this post, I went to the bed and I found WLD has updated the data in the morning.
The automated daily update ran at 7:58am EST because of the "RandomMinute" set to 58. :(
Somehow all my WLP installations had it set to around 0 to 15.

Good point. For those users who don't know about RandomMinute, it's a parameter in the WealthLabConfig.txt file that can be edited in Notepad when WLD is closed. Here's more information:

If you use the WLP Migrator, those settings will be preserved.

I didn't use WLP Migrator because I wanted to install from scratch to get rid of gabages for 10 years of use. :)

Which may be a good idea sometimes:

Errors | General > Wealth-Lab suddenly crashes when backtesting a symbol with large intraday history

A rare scenario but it did happen to some users, and the reason is tons of garbage in WealthLabConfig.txt.
