Thank you! @johnh

Relying solely on the API documentation made it a bit tricky to figure out the exact payload structure:
https://docs.braincloudservers.com/api/s2s/promotions/syscreatepromotion

Going forward, I will be sure to always refer to the API Explorer for exact request/response formats.

Yes, you are exactly right.

I originally thought the service already existed based on this article:
https://help.getbraincloud.com/en/articles/15033267-app-design-liveops-campaigns

It looks like the Campaign feature you described will be rolled out in version 6.0. Could you share any information on the roadmap or ETA for this release?

The Campaign feature would be incredibly useful for our service, so we are really looking forward to when we can start using it!

Added the additional details to 13660

Q1: The removed player is completely excluded from reward calculation, so if the deletion happens before the job runs, that player is never iterated over and receives no rank or rewards.
Q2: Yes, the modified score will be used. The job always reads live state. Note that whether the score actually gets modified depends on the leaderboard type (e.g., for the LOW_VALUE type, only updates if the new score is less than the existing)
Q3: No backfilling, the next joiner goes to the latest instance, not the freed spot in ^2. No loop over earlier instances (^1, ^2) ever happens. The next joiner goes to ^3 (or ^4 if ^3 is full). The freed spot in ^2 stays empty permanently.
