I just hit this same issue and am wondering about the details of currencies / currency pairs being "active".
As a workaround, I added a couple of fake transactions ``` 2025-05-23 * "FX" Equity:Trading:Currency:USD 1 USD @ 1 EUR Equity:Trading:Currency:EUR -1 EUR ``` so that the EUR/USD currency pair becomes active and the price download works. I assume that I have similar real records for certain currency pairs at some point and that's why the download for those works, while for some it doesn't.
