Today.

The PR (#24308) is ready for review.

[joekaufmanexpensify]

The fix is out on staging, so this no longer needs to be an hourly.

[joekaufmanexpensify]

Removed deploy blocker label, as this is out on staging now, so is all set. All we need to do here is pay the reporting bonus once this is out on prod!

This was a regression fix, so no other payment required.

Regression is fixed, and regression reporting bonus paid. Closing as this is all set!
