hey thank you very much, so this means we should start completing labs from july onwards, and since i have started now, do you think its worth continuing or should i wait for next challenge ?
and right now in the Arcade | Google Cloud Skills Boost page its showing only 10 days left, so i dont think i can get 25 points, because for every lab i have to wait for 2 hours
