Error with getSymbols('SP500', from = "2020-01-01", to = "2021-06-30", src='FRED') SP500<-na.locf(SP500, na.rm = TRUE)

Hi Frank,

These both work for me in R-4.2.1 and quantmod 0.4.20. It looks like 
you're using quantmod <= 0.4.18.

What R version are you using? At minimum, you should reinstall the 
packages that were built in R-3.5.3 in March-2019.

Best,
Josh

'getSymbols' currently uses auto.assign=TRUE by default, but will 
use auto.assign=FALSE in 0.5-0. You will still be able to use 
'loadSymbols' to automatically load data. 
getOption("getSymbols.env") and
getOption("getSymbols.auto.assign") will still be checked for 
alternate defaults.

This message is shown once per session and may be disabled by 
setting options("getSymbols.warning4.0"=FALSE). See ?getSymbols for details.

Error in getSymbols.FRED(Symbols = "SP500", env = <environment>, 
verbose = FALSE,  :

I got correct data as recently as

11/2/2022       44867   3759.69 3759.69 3759.69 3759.69 3759.69 3759.69

Similar thing with getSymbols('DGS3MO',src='FRED').

They both download correctly directly from FRED.

Thanks,
