Debugging of Zipline algos goes beyond the scope of the support forum. Please reach out about paid support if you want to dig into that.
The same applies to general network issues with your cloud deployment. That’s not a QuantRocket-specific issue, but again I would be happy to help in any way I can under the framework of paid support.
