cannot support {interval}

Error message

cannot support {interval}

What it means

Raised in the crypto collector's validation/download path when interval equals INTERVAL_1d it calls _get_simple, otherwise it delegates 1min to get_data_from_remote via the earlier branch; reaching the final else means interval is neither 1d nor the 1min remote path — an unsupported combination for this collector class.

Solutions

1. Use interval=1d or interval=1min with the crypto collector.
2. If subclassing, ensure your interval handling matches the branch conditions (1min goes through get_data_from_remote; only 1d reaches _get_simple).
3. For other granularities use the binance-based crypto collector scripts that support them.

Example fix

# before
collector.get_data(symbol, interval="5min", ...)

# after
collector.get_data(symbol, interval="1min", ...)

assert interval in ("1d", "1min"), f"unsupported crypto interval: {interval!r}"

When it happens

Trigger: Calling get_data (or download loop) with interval not in {1d, 1min} on CryptoCollector, or a subclass where the 1min branch condition (e.g. start/end bounds enabling remote fetch) is not met and a stray interval value falls through to the else.

Common situations: Passing 5min/1h intervals to the crypto collector; subclass overriding conditions such that only the else branch remains reachable; inconsistent interval constants after a refactor (INTERVAL_1min string mismatch with the check above).
