LGTM with a few nits below:

We removed this comment here.

We can actually check that this number is >= 24M instead. Not a big
deal, but might as well.

Yet we added a similar one here :)

Same here, we can check that zswpin is at least 24M worth of events.
Again, not a big deal, but might as well.
