Is there an API call for that?

Not right now, but that's a good notion, for games which have very long currency regeneration times. I'll add it to the backlog.

Any idea of when this will be implemented? I saw someone already requested it 2 months ago.

https://support.playfab.com/support/discussions/topics/1000039467

Pretty much every game that uses regenerating virtual currency tells the player how long it will be until the next recharge.

We prioritize all work based upon the input from our developer community. While I agree that this would be a good addition, the truth is that we're not hearing this as a request from hardly anyone, so it hasn't been prioritized as yet.

We'd like this feature as well!

We would also like to have this implemented.

Agreed, this would be very useful. Currently using client -> secure admin server -> playfab to award virtual currency on a timer.

Nice lots of people wanting it! Maybe they'll implement it soon then :)

This is now in place - the GetUserInventory and GetUserCombinedInfo calls, as well as the Matchmaker/UserInfo call (basically, all the places you get the list of VC balances the player has for the title) all return VirtualCurrencyRechargeTimes, which is a structure containing the SecondsToRecharge and RechargeTime (the latter being a timestamp) of the next recharge for the player. Not that for a Server or Admin call, the RechargeTime can be in the past, if the user hasn't signed in for more than the time it takes to recharge one unit of a VC. As always, do let us know if you see any issues.

This is great! Thanks you guys.

One additional request: can the VirtualCurrencyRechargeTimes also contain the max refill number? That way we can know a person is all full, etc. Otherwise we need to grab that data via another source.

Thanks again!

Excellent point - we'll add this to the backlog, and reply here when this has been added.

Okay, the update to add the RechargeMax is also being returned, now - enjoy!
