The new SD-DD service (and, indeed, the SD-JSON service
which obtains its data via the new Gracenote service) only
has 13 days of data (more or less, and since the "flat file"
that is used for the SD-DD service was stated to be created
only once a day, probably a little less for some).  That is
slightly less than the previous TMS-DD service (which
sometimes reported up to 16 days of data).  So, give it a
few days, and verify that indeed you are seeing (about)
13 days of data going forward.  That is what I am seeing.

Note that there is a (small) complexity for those that
have not upgraded or pointed their DNS to the new
name (i.e. still using the old DNS name).  As part of
a transition experiment, the DNS name that points to
the old server will get the TMS or the SD server about
50% of the time.  Which means one run you might get
16 days (if you hit TMS-DD), and another time you get
13 days (if you hit SD-DD).  So there may be some
jitter in your days until the old TMS-DD service is fully
retired (on, or about, Nov 1st).
