[Python] Trying to extract live data from mt5 to my python script but getting data 10 hours...

# Fetch historical bars for a specific symbol and time range
def get_bars(symbol, timeframe, start_date, end_date):
if not mt5.symbol_select(symbol, True):
print(f"Failed to select symbol: {symbol}")
return None

rates = mt5.copy_rates_range(symbol, timeframe, start_date, end_date)

if rates is None:
print(f"Failed to get rates for symbol: {symbol}")
return None

df = pd.DataFrame(rates)
df['time'] = pd.to_datetime(df['time'], unit='s') # Convert Unix timestamp to datetime
return df


also this is in the main function

while True:
now = datetime.now() # Get the current time
end_date = now # Use current time as end_date
start_date = now - timedelta(days=1) # Look back 1 day for data
