These are separate windows: an expired query response can still use an eligible Maps detail record or recent contact check. Reusing Maps details preserves their original
place.observedAt; a newer website contact check does not make the Maps details newly observed. Google Maps itself and business websites may also contain outdated information.
These reuse rules apply automatically. Use the observation timestamps to decide whether a record is recent enough for your task, especially for fields that can change frequently, such as opening hours, ratings, or phone numbers. Missing fields remain null or empty as appropriate.
