public function getNextEventEpoch($last_epoch, $is_reschedule)
Get the next occurrence of this event.
This method takes two parameters: the last time this event occurred (or null if it has never triggered before) and a flag distinguishing between a normal reschedule (after a successful trigger) or an update because of a trigger change.
If this event does not occur again, return null to stop it from being rescheduled. For example, a meeting reminder may be sent only once before the meeting.
If this event does occur again, return the epoch timestamp of the next occurrence.
When performing routine reschedules, the event must move forward in time: any timestamp you return must be later than the last event. For instance, if this event triggers an invoice, the next invoice date must be after the previous invoice date. This prevents an event from looping more than once per second.
In contrast, after an update (not a routine reschedule), the next event may be scheduled at any time. For example, if a meeting is moved from next week to 3 minutes from now, the clock may reschedule the notification to occur 12 minutes ago. This will cause it to execute immediately.
| int|null | $last_epoch | Last time the event occurred, or null if it has never triggered before. |
| bool | $is_reschedule | True if this is a reschedule after a successful trigger. |
| int|null | Next event, or null to decline to reschedule. |
