Well, I just tried again and it failed, so I checked the Alphavantage key setting in Preferences>Online Banking and found it not set. After setting it with my key retrieving CHF->USD and EUR->USD quotes worked. I’m afraid that’s not much help.

If you run from the command line (ALPHAVANAGE_API_KEY=xxx /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump currency “CHF” “USD”) do you get a valid result?

It occurs to me that your problem might be similar to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795564 <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795564>. Try disabling quote retrieval on all securities and see if that changes anything. Are there any currencies in your book besides CHF, EUR, and USD?
