What is the API v2 get_events event updation time lag ?

One of the params we send in the get_events call is time : {start_time: .. , end_time: ..}

If current time is 6 pm and we specify end_time to be 6 pm , will all the events that happened before 6pm be there in the response / the caller has to account for eventually populated events and keep a buffer  and make calls only with end_time = current_time - buffer?

    There may be some processing time/lag involved in getting events in the log, but we don't document/guarantee exactly what that would be. I don't expect it to be more than a few seconds, but that may vary.
