Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from

at 5m,
captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers. Mon 17 Aug, 18:25 to Tue 18 Aug, 20:55
It changes nothing about the trade — your fills, fees and contract size stay
BINANCE's — and the chart says
where the bars came from.
