Comment:

 I completed #26702 and I am about to complete #26694.

 While I was writing these tickets, I realised that we only need to avoid
 the following periods:
 * HH:45-HH:55, because the bandwidth file is read at HH:50
 * HH:15-HH:25, because the bandwidth file is read at HH:20 during a
 consensus failure

 I also suggest that add these times to the `sbws generate` documentation.
