Is the Watch Provider API working?

It looks, like it's not up-to-date. Example: movie 573435 (Bad Boys 4) does not list any watch providers with https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/movie-watch-providers
{
"id": 573435,
"results": {}
}
While clearly, this is not true when looking directly on the source page https://www.justwatch.com/ch/Film/bad-boys-4-ride-or-die (blue TV is streaming it in Switzerland)

JustWatch updates usually take between ~24-48 hours to update and be made available on TMDB.
Looking at ID
573435today, I am seeing offers.Reply by simonferndriger

However, I see a difference in the number of streaming providers (for Switzerland).
On https://www.justwatch.com/ch/Film/bad-boys-4-ride-or-die there are 3 (including Apple TV),
and on https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/573435-bad-boys-ride-or-die/watch?locale=CH there are only 2.
Why is that?

Maybe Justwatch added the third provider today.
Try it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
