What's New
Time of Use (ToU) CDRs are now flagged more selectively. Short sessions that cannot possibly span more than one ToU rate window are no longer flagged for review.
Specifically, a ToU CDR is no longer flagged when both of the following are true:
- The session duration is under 15 minutes, and
- The session does not cross a quarter-hour mark (
:00,:15,:30,:45).
This reduces the number of flagged CDRs operators need to review, while still surfacing the sessions that legitimately span multiple ToU rate windows.
This change applies only to Time of Use CDRs. Flagging logic for non-ToU CDRs is unchanged.
Previous Behavior
All Time of Use CDRs missing the expected clock-aligned meter values were flagged for review, including very short sessions that began and ended entirely within the same quarter-hour. Because such sessions cannot span more than one ToU rate window, those flags rarely required action and added noise to the CDR validation queue.
New Behavior
A Time of Use CDR is no longer flagged when the session is under 15 minutes long and stays within a single quarter-hour window.
If either condition is not met, the CDR will still be flagged as before. For example:
- ✅ Not flagged — a 6-minute session from
:18to:24(under 15 min, does not cross:30).
- ⚠️ Still flagged — a 10-minute session from
:12to:22(under 15 min, but crosses:15).
- ⚠️ Still flagged — a 20-minute session from
:05to:25(over 15 min).
Why this matters
- Fewer false positives in the flagged CDR queue.
- Faster review cycles for billing and operations teams, who can focus on CDRs that actually span multiple ToU rate windows.
- Accurate ToU billing is preserved — only sessions that cannot cross a rate-window boundary are excluded from flagging.
