Google Earth Engine - Delay in GEE data compared to source

[DeanR_etg]

I've signed up for a free trail to run a test.

I'm trying to run an experiment to see if I can get the latest data from a data source in the GEE Data catalog. On further inspection the latest data is not available on GEE yet, but it is available at the source.

My question is that if the data is not yet available in the data catalog does that mean I can't access the latest data until the data source gets updated by Google?

Please see the data set link below from GEE: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/MODIS_061_MCD15A3H

Original data source: https://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MOTA/MCD15A2H.061/2023.12.27/

The above link shows that the latest data is available.
