It may take up to five minutes for a user profile to enter each step of a Journey, including the entry condition. For Journey steps that reference a batch audience or SQL trait, Journeys processes user profiles at the same rate as the audience or trait computation. Visit the Engage docs to [learn more about compute times](/docs/engage/audiences/#understanding-compute-times).

When a Journey is published, the computation of the entry step begins immediately in real-time, while the backfill process of historical data runs concurrently. It is important to note that if a user's events or traits evaluated in the entry condition span both real-time and historical data, unintended behavior may occur. This discrepancy could result in users qualifying in real-time, but should not have when their historical data is taken into account.

To prevent this, consider manually creating an audience that incorporates these conditions, including historical data. This pre-built audience can then be referenced in your Journey entry condition. This approach ensures a consistent evaluation of users based on both their real-time and historical data.

When you publish a journey, the entry step begins evaluating users in real time while the historical data backfill runs separately. If a user's events or traits span both real-time and historical data, they might qualify for the journey immediately, even if their full historical data would have disqualified them.

To prevent inconsistencies, you can manually create an audience that includes the same conditions as the journey's entry step. This ensures that it evaluates both real-time and historical data. You can then use this pre-built audience as the journey's entry condition. This approach guarantees that Segment evaluates users consistently across both data sources.
