Does CQG have incorrect historical data? Who faced?

The situation is as follows. NinjaTrader8, CQG connection.
On 12.21.2020, I download the maximum available history for contracts CL0121, CL0221 and save it in CSV format - 1 minute.

Yesterday, 12/25/2020, I completely update the history in NinjaTrader and save it again in CSV format - 1 minute. Then I compare the data with each other and find significant differences. For each contract, 15,000 - 19,000 record (row) mismatches only by OHLC! If you add the Volume field, there will be even more. Of course, no rolloving, and the date period is the same. It is noteworthy that there is an end date for discrepancies - 11/23/2020. All discrepancies before this date, after it - ok. What is this anyway?!
I know that data providers can change history, but I never knew it was that much! Differences in prices and volumes can be very significant. See screenshots.
What to do?
Change provider? Rithmic - isn't there? Or?

First of all, what timezone are you using in NT8?

Ok, thanks. CQG/Continuum data is generally regarded as high quality and I'm not aware that the same data provider is supposed to change history as it were.

Unless you are talking about these two sets of data coming from two different data providers?

It seems strange to me myself. But I know that anything is possible.
I don't have a second provider

Are you able to provide a set of OHLC daily data for the period where you see discrepancies in those two contracts?

Yes of course.
Thank you for your participation!
I'd like to understand the situation.
I attach three files with data in csv format.

CL0121_was.zip

CL0121_became.zip

CL0121_combined_mismatches.zip

Thanks.

What I meant by 'daily data' was this:

would you be able to combine all of this data so that the format looks like:

CL0121 2020-07-10 (O,H,L,C)
CL0121 2020-07-11 (O,H,L,C)
CL0121 2020-07-12 (O,H,L,C)

and so on

Basically one line per day.


I'm looking for that because I could not reconcile your minute data with the data I have. I too use NT8 and Continuum CQG.

It's much easier for me to compare daily OHLC values and spot discrepancies.

@OpiumFP

Another question: there's a "5" or a "6" attached at the end of each timestamp (in the Date field).

What is that?

I don't think it makes sense to compare daily data.
