- ismailmaj 11mo agoDon't think so, I expect that system to use Spanner, so my best guess is that the user generated an image at the end of the credit reset window (which is around noon EST).
- jaennaet 11mo agoIf there's something I'd expect Google to use a strong consistency model for, it'd be a credit system like that. Well, not that they don't do stupid things all the time, but having credits live on a system with a weak consistency model would be silly.
