Why plaid doesn't respect the account that was selected by the user

[alirezaseifi]

Here is the code and I'd like to limit the accounts to credit: ['credit card'], only

so the following code works and it's limiting the accounts in Plaid link to only credit cards

accountSubtypes: {
credit: ['credit card'],
},

even thought when I try to get the access_token or get balance it returns all the accounts balances instead of the one that user selected and there's no way for us to know which account was selected by the user.

how do I limit the transactions or balance to only one account that User selected at plaid link?
