But a 90-minute window will not be.
I had a similar issue with some old SWUs once, where I requested them, they appeared in my account within a few hours, and I tried to use them that evening, maybe four or five hours after the request. It somehow worked, IIRC with me reading the cert numbers to an agent who could not see them in my account, but I was able to use them that night.
