Question about Particle.publish() execution with TTL specified

[ScruffR]

Hmm, how about this
https://docs.particle.io/reference/device-os/firmware/photon/#particle-publish-

Even if it was implemented, the actual intent of TTL would be the period how long the event will stay valid after it was delivered to the cloud before it vanishes and has nothing to do with the code flow.

Regarding code flow in connection with the publishing it self there are the two flags WITH_ACK and NO_ACK and also this post

Particle publish with WITH_ACK not working properly?

Particle.publish returns a “future” bool and doesn’t actually block until the return value is accessed. Something like the following will result in expected blocking behavior without requiring explicit/arbitrary delays. bool rval = Particle.publish(...); if(!rval) { Log.info("an error!"); } Documentation could definitely be updated for clarity…
