I'm currently trying out the PayPal REST API and have now queried the current account balance via "reporting/balances".
I noticed that it is not current. For example, the account balance retrieved is from today at noon. However, there was another payment received today around 7 p.m. which is not taken into account.
Do I have to set anything else somewhere?
