Problem with the market data of VXX

I do some backtesting today. In my algo I sue the VXX. But "suddently" the RETURN of my algo is quite different though I haven't changed anything in my algo. Fron the attached algo one can see the VXX is tradable from 2018 Jan. But 1 hour ago the VXX is tradable from 2009.

The VXX was ended in 2018. It was replaced by VXXB. But now the VXXB is repaced back to VXX. Really damn!

Seems no body will back testing the VXX?

ya, I have meet the same problem both in tradingview, quantopian and quantconnect.
The only thing to do is to report the data issue.
