Hey there!

I just wrote a script that fetches data from the AQS new pages endpoint in order to prepare the our monthly health metrics (T199459).

However, it seems like that endpoint doesn't yet have monthly data for September. For example, a query for Commons with a start of July 1 and and an end of October 1 returns only data for July and August. What's the schedule for updating this data?

To be honest, I feel pretty frustrated by this. Wikistats 1 generates data on content pages with a delay of 10-15 days after the end of the month, which has made it difficult for us to provide timely metrics to executives and the board. I had assumed (to a degree that I didn't even check) that by switching to this API, we would instead only have to deal with the delay in generating the mediawiki_history snapshot (5-7 days after the end of the month). But that doesn't seem to be the case.
