Time-Sensitive Message

Definition

A time-sensitive message is a piece of digital information whose relevance or utility is critically dependent on its delivery and processing within a specific, often narrow, timeframe. Failure to transmit or act upon such a message promptly can result in lost opportunities, invalid transactions, or outdated information. These messages are common in real-time trading and urgent network communications. Their timely handling is crucial for operational efficacy.
