Timestamps for Recently Played Tracks

Hello,

I'm using the Get Recently Played Tracks endpoint and I need to know when each track was played. Is there a way to request a timestamp?

Thanks!

Any news on this? Seems pretty fundamental to return the timestamp in the Recently Played endpoint.

I'm quite disappointed when WWDC22 rolled out and I found out that there was still no timestamp attached to the recently played endpoint. This is crucial to the app I want to develop. Please add my vote to this. Thanks!

A timestamp would be super helpful and allow us to have the same QoS as other leading music services.
