AJO Quiet Hours: Does queued message use real-time or event-time attribute values?

​@shivangisingh 

When a message is delayed in the queue due to Quiet Hours, the value utilized during message delivery is determined by whether Event Contextual Attributes or Profile Attributes.

• Contextual Attributes (Trigger Event Data): These values are captured at the precise moment the triggering event occurs.
  • For instance, if the price ($10) is within the event payload, that specific value is stored with the journey instance. Consequently, even if the message is held in the queue for several hours, it will still display $10 upon final transmission.
• Profile/Look-up Attributes: If the email retrieves the price from a Profile Attribute or a Dataset lookup, it typically fetches the most current available value at the time of message execution.. In this scenario, should the price in the database update to $9 while the message is queued, the profile will receive the email reflecting the $9 price.
• If choose discard, the email delivery for that profile discarded.

Queued Quiet Hours messages use the attribute values at the time of actual send, not at the time the event was triggered. So if the price changes from $10 → $9 overnight, the queued message will send with $9.

To lock in the original value ($10), you must store the price at event time and use that in the message.

Using Quiet Hours → Discard will prevent sending entirely, so it does not meet your requirement unless you design a separate resend flow.
