The rationale is documented on the streamGame
endpoint: https://lichess.org/api#tag/Games/operation/streamGame
After move 5, the stream intentionally remains 3 moves behind the game status, as to prevent cheat bots from using this API.
We have been talking about switching this limitation from being move based to time based, will create an issue
/game/export/{gameId} and similar endpoints omit 3 last moves of ongoing games for some reason. That is very unexpected and is left unexplained. I'd really like
I guess you want to avoid some bots making repeated requests to this endpoint? It might be less relevant for correspondence games which is what I'm trying to use this for.
