What is this actually doing? Sending a 409 response to GCP to indicate the task was not consumed? So will GCP immediately push the task again, until the task is completed? Won't this spam your API with GCP requests, or is there a smart delay between attempts?

if ($availableAt > time()) {
     return response()->noContent(409);
}

Sorry for the late reply, didn't notice your question.

I forgot to mention in the article that you also need to configure exponential backoff on GCP, so you API does not get spammed.
