Hi - any further thoughts on this error - we are still getting this issue.

The online service uses quite old data, from 2013.

You will need to host your own instance, and update lib/data/postcodes.zip with the latest copy of the data from the ONS.

I do keep meaning to update the data, but it's not entirely trivial. When I get chance, I will do it though.
