Tick data returns several times even if there is no change

DM2290

Dear @sujith and team,

I am using the following code to retrieve the tick data for a subscribed token. However even though there is no change in LTP, the ticker returns data. In previous threads and documentation, I have read that the tick data is supposed to return only when there is a change. Kindly clarify.

const KiteTicker = require("kiteconnect").KiteTicker; 
     var  ticker = new KiteTicker({
          api_key: global.apiKey,
          access_token: global.accessToken,
        });

        ticker.autoReconnect(true, 10, 5);
        ticker.connect();
        ticker.on("connect", on_connect);
        ticker.on("ticks", this.on_ticks);

function on_connect() {  
          ticker.setMode(ticker.modeLTP, global.tokenSubscriptionList);
        }

    on_ticks: async function(ticks) {
        ticks.forEach((tokenArray) => {
            console.log("instrument token: " + ticks[0].instrument_token + " last price is: " + ticks[0].last_price);
        });
    },

You will receive ticks when there is a change in any of the values you have subscribed to, not only for LTP.
If you have subscribed to full mode then you will receive ticks when there is a change in one of the bids or offers.
