docs: add "Funding fee adjustment" to deprecated docs

This avoids duplicate downloads, for example on hyperliquid, which uses "futures" as mark candle type.

 * Given starting points are ignored if data is already available, downloading only missing data up to today.
 * Use `--timeframes` to specify what timeframe download the historical candle (OHLCV) data for. Default is `--timeframes 1m 5m` which will download 1-minute and 5-minute data.
 * To use exchange, timeframe and list of pairs as defined in your configuration file, use the `-c/--config` option. With this, the script uses the whitelist defined in the config as the list of currency pairs to download data for and does not require the pairs.json file. You can combine `-c/--config` with most other options.
+* When downloading futures data (`--trading-mode futures` or a configuration specifying futures mode), freqtrade will automatically download the necessary candle types (e.g. `mark` and `funding_rate` candles) unless specified otherwise via `--candle-types`.

+## Adjustment to dynamic funding rate handling
+
+With version 2025.12, the handling of dynamic funding rates has been adjusted to also support dynamic funding rates down to 1h funding intervals.
+As a consequence, the mark and funding rate timeframes have been changed to 1h for every supported futures exchange.
+
+As the timeframe for both mark and funding_fee candles has changed (usually from 8h to 1h) - already downloaded data will have to be adjusted or partially re-downloaded.
+You can either re-download everything (`freqtrade download-data [...] --erase` - :warning: can take a long time) - or download the updated data selectively.
+
+### Selective data re-download
+
+The script below should serve as an example - you may need to adjust the timeframe and exchange to your needs!
+
+``` bash
+# Cleanup no longer needed data
+rm user_data/data/<exchange>/futures/*-mark-*
+rm user_data/data/<exchange>/futures/*-funding_rate-*
+
+# download new data (only required once to fix the mark and funding fee data)
+freqtrade download-data -t 1h --trading-mode futures --candle-types funding_rate mark [...] --timerange <full timerange you've got other data for>
+
+```
+
+The result of the above will be that your funding_rates and mark data will have the 1h timeframe.
+you can verify this with `freqtrade list-data --exchange <yourexchange> --show`.
+
+!!! Note "Additional arguments"
+    Additional arguments to the above commands may be necessary, like configuration files or explicit user_data if they deviate from the default.
+
+**Hyperliquid** is a special case now - which will no longer require 1h mark data - but will use regular candles instead (this data never existed and is identical to 1h futures candles). As we don't support download-data for hyperliquid (they don't provide historic data) - there won't be actions necessary for hyperliquid users.
