> mmrSysUpdatedTime	string	Useful when Bybit lower the risk limit When isReduceOnly=true: the timestamp (ms) when the MMR will be forcibly adjusted by the system When isReduceOnly=false: the timestamp when the MMR had been adjusted by system It returns the timestamp when the system operates, and if you manually operate, there is no timestamp Keeps "" by default, if there was a lower risk limit system adjustment previously, it shows that system operation timestamp Only meaningful for isolated margin & cross margin of USDT Perp, USDC Perp, USDC Futures, Inverse Perp and Inverse Futures, meaningless for others
> leverageSysUpdatedTime	string	Useful when Bybit lower the risk limit When isReduceOnly=true: the timestamp (ms) when the leverage will be forcibly adjusted by the system When isReduceOnly=false: the timestamp when the leverage had been adjusted by system It returns the timestamp when the system operates, and if you manually operate, there is no timestamp Keeps "" by default, if there was a lower risk limit system adjustment previously, it shows that system operation timestamp Only meaningful for isolated margin & cross margin of USDT Perp, USDC Perp, USDC Futures, Inverse Perp and Inverse Futures, meaningless for others
