Looks like that change took place in Version 1.58 Release back on Aug 12, 2023
where '.X' denotes scaling in effect for alphavantage. See
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/releases/tag/v1.58
As a side note, Alphavantage has really tighten up ability to pull free quotes
from their API to the tune of up to 25 requests per day so tread accordingly.

Subject: Re: [GNC] Finance::Quote started multiplying prices by 100
Martin, Geoff, Bruce,
Thank you very much for your help with this. I'm pleased to report that it now
works as expected, having added an X to the symbol as suggested.
Perhaps I should have mentioned in my original post that I had previously been
downloading quotes on my old laptop, which is running GnuCash version 4.12 on
Windows 10 with Finance::Quote version 1.5301 installed, so presumably
something has changed since those versions were current.
Thank you all again; it turned out to be more straightforward to resolve than I
had feared!
Regards,Alan G

Downloading UK traded stock from Alphavantage you need to add an 'X' to the
symbol like CNA.L.X your prices will now be pounds.

Hi Alan & Bruce
Alan: I believe the cause of this problem is that CNA is quoted in Pence on the
LSE and Finance::Quote is interpreting it as Pounds, hence your
100 fold discrepancy. Until a fix is found I suggest you either manually edit
the prices in GnuCash (Tools / Price Database / Edit) or just sit back and
enjoy your new found wealth!
I am not familiar with the LSE but did come across this article which implies
that some LSE securities are quoted in Pounds and others in Pence:

Bruce: please see attached screenshot. v1.49 of F::Q interprets the
price correctly, v1.62 does not. I ran these tests in Perl outside of
GnuCash. Over to you for comment.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Regards
Geoff
