Apparently what happened is that Alphavantage changed their system. 
Alphavantage started limiting, to paying customers only, a certain kind 
of currency quote which used to be free. There is a workaround. The 
software in between GnuCash and Alphavantage, known as Finance::Quote, 
can change to using Alphavantage a different way, a way which is still 
free. But it will take time for them to make that change, and for 
GnuCash to incorporate it.

The details are in a GnuCash bug report 
<https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798599>. This matter was 
discussed on this list earlier. See
