Earth Engine has introduced noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. Noncommercial projects use the Community Tier by default, though you can change a project's tier at any time.
ee.data.newTaskId
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Generates an "unsubmitted" ID for a long-running task.
Before tasks are submitted, they may be assigned IDs to track them. The server ensures that the same ID cannot be reused. These IDs have a UUID format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.
Tasks that are running on the server have a ID without hyphens. This is returned by ee.data.startProcessing and other batch methods.
Returns an array containing generated ID strings, or null if a callback is specified.
