Documentation for update job schedule?

1

I'm learning the RESTBase API, and noticed some idiosyncracies about using today's date. Many calls fail if I try to pull today's data, until the update job runs, and some calls like edits/aggregate only have data for the previous month. What's the recommended way to handle this? Should I hardcode matching behavior into my API calls, in other words only pull aggregate edit counts for the previous calendar month, given some margin of safety like 1 day in order to guarantee that the data will be populated? Or should I just retry time intervals, shifting them backwards until the call succeeds? Is the update job schedule documented somewhere canonical?
