Patent number: 12177063Abstract: A method is disclosed for reducing inaccuracies in counts related to communication of messages in a manner that efficiently uses computer resources, including processing power and/or memory. An alert condition pertaining to delivery of a plurality of messages is received. The alert condition specifies a threshold number of dropped or failed deliveries. Based on a first time period elapsing, a first system check is performed. Based on a second time period elapsing, a second system check is performed. The second system check includes, based on a detection that the first message has failed during the second time period, decrementing the count for the dropped queue associated with the plurality of messages and incrementing a count for a failed queue associated with the plurality of messages, and, based on a detection that a second message has been dropped during the second time period, incrementing the count for the dropped queue.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2023Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: Twilio Inc.Inventors: Ravindra Ishmitra Bhanot, Minakshi Chandrashekhar Korad, Scott Reynolds, Thomas William D'Silva, Srirama Kolla, Sriram Ramarathnam
