It's a bit complicated. When SRE sets the read-only mark, they start counting from that time and it starts propagating which takes a while to be actually shown to all users but some users might still see the RO error while some actual writes are happening somewhere else because the cache is not invalidated yet (I think it has a TTL of 5 seconds but I need to double check). We still consider that as RO time because it's affecting users regardless.
