# Currency API `rate_updated_at` field now reflects manual FX rates

The currency API `rate_updated_at` field now returns the date the manual currency exchange rate was updated, if applicable. If no manual rate was set, the date the automatic rate was updated is returned. This change was made to support the new manual exchange rates feature.

Previously, the currency API returned the date the automatic rate was last updated in this field.
