Upper bound of last_date maxes out at last_date=datetime.date(2023, 6, 26))

[derekchased]

We cannot receive a conversion for dates after 2023-6-26. We tried to convert a value from EUR to DKK for 11-28-23 and received the error:

currency_converter.currency_converter.RateNotFoundError: 2023-11-28 not in DKK bounds 1999-01-04/2023-06-26

1. Create venv with python 3.11
2. Install latest using pip
3. Create a new CurrencyConverter object
4. run c.bounds
5. Observe all currencies show an upper bound for last_date=datetime.date(2023, 6, 26))

The data shipped with the library is not dynamically updated. If you want to fetch the latest rates from the ECB, you need to download the latest data. You can do this operation once a day, as the data is only updated once a day.
