| `binStartTime` (optional) | Datetime in<br>`%Y-%n-%eT%H:%M %Z` format | Specifies the date and time for the initial bin execution. The value can start at rule creation datetime minus the `binSize` value, or later and in whole hours. For example, if the datetime is `2023-12-03T12:13Z` and `binSize` is 1,440, the earliest valid `binStartTime` value is `2023-12-02T13:00Z`, and the aggregation includes data logged between 02T13:00 and 03T13:00. In this scenario, the rules start aggregating a 03T13:00 plus the default or specified delay. <br><br> The `binStartTime` parameter is useful in daily summary scenarios. Suppose you're located in the UTC-8 time zone and you create a daily rule at `2023-12-03T12:13Z`. You want the rule to complete before you start your day at 8:00 (00:00 UTC). Set the `binStartTime` parameter to `2023-12-02T22:00Z`. The first aggregation includes all data logged between 02T:06:00 and 03T:06:00 local time, and the rule runs at the same time daily. For more information, see [Configure the aggregation timing](#configure-the-aggregation-timing).<br><br> When you update rules, you can either: <br> - Use the existing `binStartTime` value or remove the `binStartTime` parameter, in which case execution continues based on the initial definition.<br> - Update the rule with a new `binStartTime` value to set a new datetime value. |
