Chart
Candle data — where these bars came from

195 bars from BINANCE at 1m, captured when the trade closed and kept — this charts the same whether or not the exchange still answers.
Mon 3 Aug, 17:31 to Mon 3 Aug, 20:46

It changes nothing about the trade — your fills, fees and contract size stay BINANCE's — and the chart says where the bars came from.
