@KhaledHassen This topFilter trick has been invaluable for me in various projects.  It's an especially neat trick for handling parade routes and the current location of various participants in the parade.  We use QuickCapture to stream point data to the underlying Feature Layer and then topFilter to limit it to the most recent feature.

@curtvprice  After talking with Esri, it appears that any notebook that has something about it that consumes credits is enough.  Scheduled Notebooks, according to their blog post, consume credits based on the amount of execution time.  Additional tasks that consume credits could in theory be gated by if/else logic but simply running the Scheduled Notebook consumes credits with every run.  Section 5 of the below linked blog post states, in part: The ability to execute notebooks in “Scheduled Mode” can add value to organizations in terms of time, resources, and efficiency.  As such, the credit model is slightly different than notebooks in “Interactive Mode”.  All scheduled notebooks consume credits, and this consumption is based on the amount of time it takes to complete a task.  For a review of the pricing for both “Interactive Mode” and “Scheduled Mode”, please refer to the Understand credits topic in the ArcGIS Online documentation.     blog post linked here  As such, a quiet time could potentially be a very valuable addition for more time aware workflows (shutting down every night) or credit sensitive tasks and organizations. ...
