Codes usually belong before the session

Most code rewards are useful because they change what you can do next. If a reward helps buy, stabilize, or test a route, redeeming before the session gives the reward a job immediately.

Saving codes only makes sense with timing value

Saving a code can be correct if the reward is tied to a boost window or a specific session plan. If the reward is basic starter value, waiting often just delays progress.

Grow a Garden code timing decision before a farming session
A code reward is strongest when it changes the next useful action.

Check again before long sessions

Before a longer route, check whether new code notes appeared. Missing a useful reward before a long session can make the route weaker than it needs to be.
