 If you received an `orderId`, query `status` with that ID and the same account. If submission timed out before returning an ID, inspect realtime orders and order history for BTCUSDT, and reconcile executions and positions using the request time, side, price and quantity. Avoid resubmitting until the outcome is resolved.
 
-An empty result is inconclusive: recent closed orders can disappear from the realtime endpoint after a service restart, and history can lag. See [open and closed orders](https://bybit-exchange.github.io/docs/v5/order/open-order).
+For older records, or closed orders no longer available after a service restart, use [`getHistoricOrders()`](/api/classes/RestClientV5#gethistoricorders). Set `orderStatus: 'Cancelled'` when looking for a cancelled order; from 3 December 2026, unfiltered recent history excludes `Cancelled`, `Rejected` and `Deactivated`.
