9Relays may support notifying clients that the event they published has an unacceptable `created_at` time. A relay will will consider the `created_at` time unacceptable if the `created_at` time is more than **[limit]** before the event was received by the relay. 9Relays may support notifying clients that the event they published has an unacceptable `created_at` time. A relay will consider the `created_at` time unacceptable if the `created_at` time is more than **[limit]** before the event was received by the relay (in the past) OR if the `created_at` time is later than the time the event was received by the relay (in the future).

23The event `created_at` field is just a unix timestamp (integer) so one could set it to a time in the past. For example, the `created_at` field could be set to a time 10 years ago even though it was created today and it could still be a valid event. This NIP aims to set a maximum amount of time elapsed between when an event was created and when it was *actually* published. 23The event `created_at` field is just a unix timestamp (integer) so one could set it to a time in the past or future. For example, the `created_at` field could be set to a time 10 years ago even though it was created today and it could still be a valid event. One could also set the `created_at` field to a time 10 years in the future and it could still be a valid event. This NIP aims to set a maximum amount of time elapsed between when an event was created and when it was *actually* published and prevent events from being from the future.
