# Scheduler bookings now respect their own buffer time

Source: https://developer.nylas.com/docs/changelogs/2026-09-15-scheduler-booking-buffer-fix/

## Fixed

- **Booking [buffer time](/docs/v3/scheduler/managing-availability/#add-buffer-times-to-meetings) checks** now account for the buffer configured on the booking being created, not only the buffer already set on existing meetings, when checking availability against already-scheduled meetings. Previously, a new booking's own buffer wasn't honored during this check, which could allow it to be created closer to an existing meeting than its buffer setting allowed.
