Temporary event zones

Temporal

Ad-hoc geofences for a limited-duration event (a festival, stadium concert, disaster-response zone) exist only for a narrow time window; applying that geography outside its valid window either misses the event or wrongly attributes unrelated activity to it.

Detection

Query time range extends beyond the event zone's declared start/end timestamps.

Mitigation

  • Attach explicit start/end timestamps to every event-zone geometry and enforce them at query time
  • Auto-expire event geofences from active targeting/reporting configs after the event ends

Affected conversions

  • PolygonH3 (intersects)
  • Point+radiusH3
