Webhook Delivery Delayed – Latency Verdict

Verdict (TL;DR)

STOP treating delay as failure.

Why this happens (structural)

Webhook delivery latency fluctuates due to queueing and backoff. This does not indicate loss.

Why further debugging often fails

Latency is not deterministic. Debugging does not shorten queues.

Responsibility boundary

Delivery scheduling is owned by the sender platform.

What evidence would change this verdict

• Explicit confirmation of permanent delivery failure

Deterministic verification

Delivery delay has no deterministic verification.

Final decision

STOP.
