The updated tests verify both outcomes across the supported usage-report modes, leaving no identified issue that blocks merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to The exemption applies to one exact event name, and similarly named events remain billable. The main uncertainty is whether billing counts can briefly disagree while the ingestion and reporting changes are rolled out. Retained concerns

6925-6925: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert the excluded events before adding the billable event.
All four parameter modes use
person_mode="full", so the same fixture can exercise both selected queries. The finalbaseline_count + 1assertion can also pass if$sdk_diagnostics_configis included and$sdk_diagnostics_config_customis excluded. Flush and assert the baseline after only the excluded events, then add the custom event and assert the increase of one.Suggested test adjustment
_create_event( event=event_name, team=self.team, distinct_id="widget_user", timestamp=self.begin + relativedelta(hours=6), properties={"$lib": "web"}, person_mode="full", ) + flush_persons_and_events() + billable_result_after_excluded = dict(query(self.begin, self.end, count_distinct=count_distinct)) + self.assertEqual(billable_result_after_excluded.get(self.team.id, 0), baseline_count) + _create_event( event="$sdk_diagnostics_config_custom", team=self.team, distinct_id="custom_event_user", timestamp=self.begin + relativedelta(hours=6),🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
