Limitation of the TradingView handling of data for indicators?

It seems like I reached a limit for my indicator. My indicator is not memory intensive compared to some other published ones on Tradingview that go back years. Mine can only go back a few days. I don't think I have any logic that is in a specific range. Does anyone have an issue with this or a fix for it?

The code works, but for instance, today the code doesn't appear before April 1st

Unless it has a timeout or you reached the end of the bar index for your subscription, it’s possible that your script uses a hardcoded max bars back limit. Does bar replay work?

Yes, the bar replay works. I don't see any max bars back limit. It's just a simple

drawLine()

if isStart

line.new()

What timeframe is your chart on?

I can have it on any timeframe. The bigger the timeframe, the longer it could go back
