OandA now limits fills to 500 days (as indicated by the error). You can of
course just request 500 days at a time. The function itself will not
automatically do that as that would be clearly abusing the rules that OandA
have established. Of course what you do with your own code is your own
business...

If you are looking for additional FX data, the FRED archive (St. Louis Fed)
is very good as well...

vendors will be different.
