AND purchase_token = ? AND status = 'COMPLETED' ``` If token_used_at IS NULL, the request passes the check (step 2): ``` if (row.token_used_at) { return res.status(403).json({ error: "Purchase token has already been used." }); } ``` The handler finally runs (step 3): ``` UPDATE purchases SET token_used_at = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP WHERE id = ? ``` When two requests arrive at the same time, they both finish step 1 while the row is still unused.
