I am trying to refactor some Firebase functions code from v1 to v2. The code watches for changes in a sensitive part of the database and logs information about each change, including the time it occurred:

const watchpath = triggers
        .ref(‘/sensitive/{path}`)
        .onUpdate(async (change, context) => {
            const when = context.timestamp

I understand the new version would look like this:

const watchpath = onValueWritten(
        {
            ref: ‘/sensitive/{path}’,
            instance: instanceName,
        },
        async (event) => {
        const when = event.time // NOT FOR PRODUCTION?

However the documentation for the inherited CloudEvent type (https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/functions/2nd-gen/node/firebase-functions.cloudevent#cloudeventtime) says “Do not use this API in a production environment.”

It seems this should have been finalized by now. Any word on what’s going on? Is there a safer way to get the trigger time?
