Anonymous: Do user attributes have history? Example: If a user has an attribute like enterprise_tier: true and triggers an event added_credit_card but then later the user attribute switches to enterprise_tier: false, will metrics that use the added_credit_card event and are filtering on the enterprise_tier user attribute use the current value of enterprise_tier or the value when the event was triggered?

Statbot: User properties in Statsig are frozen when a user is first exposed to a feature gate or experiment. This means that if a user attribute like enterprise_tier changes after an event is triggered, the metrics filtering on the enterprise_tier attribute will use the value of enterprise_tier at the time the event was triggered, not the current value. For example, if a user triggers the added_credit_card event when enterprise_tier is true, and later the enterprise_tier changes to false, metrics filtering on the enterprise_tier attribute will still consider the enterprise_tier as true for that event. This behavior ensures consistency in your metrics and analysis. For more details, you can refer to the documentation on user properties: source.
