Claim 6:
7. A data quantizer system for dynamically adjusting a maximum delay in publishing data points of a time series of data points, the data quantizer system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer readable non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive a first data point of a time series of data points, the first data point comprising a first data point raw time indicating a time of creation of the first data point and a first receipt time indicating a time for which the first data point is obtained at the data quantizer system;
derive a first receipt delay time for the first data point, the first receipt delay time comprising a delay between the first receipt time and a first time associated with a first applicable window;
responsive to determining that the first receipt delay time is greater than any of a set of maximum delay values for the time series of data points:
derive a first time to live value specifying a time for the first receipt delay time to be included in the set of maximum delay values, where a greater deviance between the first receipt delay time and a weighted moving average delay for the time series of data points reduces the first time to live value, and where the first receipt delay time is removed from the set of maximum delay values after expiry of the time to live value; and
update the set of maximum delay values to include the first receipt delay time and the first time to live value; and

publish, at a time after an end of the first applicable window, the first data point to a streaming analytics engine.
