Hi everyone,  
I was able to get modis data for train/test period with relatively small lags, but for evaluation period it seems that using the approved link we can’t access any updated modis data. I need to lag one month and more to find something. It seems that no modis data is available so far for 2022.

Landsat also have some serious problems starting 2nd week of evaluation.

Any help please, thanks

I know this might not be helpful if you built your data pipelines around the Microsoft Modis access point, but the Google Earth Engine Modis data is approved and updated with about a 2.5 day lag. You can see in the dataset availability that it is currently up to 2/4/2022.
