Google Calendar API "The requested minimum modification time lies too far in the past." after just one day

Question

My code fetches calendar events using service.events().list() with the following parameters:

timeMax: 2015-11-13T04:12:44.263000Z
timeMin: 2014-05-17T04:12:44.263000Z
updatedMin: 2014-11-12T14:56:20.395000Z # = yesterday

I know there's a limit on the updatedMin param that prevents it to be too far in the past, but lately I get the following error even when updatedMin is yesterday:

The requested minimum modification time lies too far in the past.

Everywhere this error is mentioned, they are talking about a limit that is approx. 20 days in the past, certainly not one day.

Any ideas what is causing this error?

Answer 1

@Tzach, I tried the above query in API explorer with the same values and it returned the results without any error unless its greater than 20days. As Luc said, better to switch to syncTokens which saves the bandwidth.
