Question about booking flights right after midnight

Honestly, I used to book flights whenever I had time, usually in the afternoon. Then I read a tip to check at 12:01 AM on a Tuesday, because that's when airlines sometimes reload cheap seats. Tried it for a trip to Mexico City last month and saved almost $80 on the same flight I looked at the day before. Ngl, it felt like a weird secret. Has anyone else had luck with this, or is it just a myth that worked once for me?

Guess you found the secret password to the airline's discount club.

Totally thought that midnight flight hack was just a rumor too. I used to check prices randomly, like while watching TV. But I tried the Tuesday thing for a trip to Denver and the price was actually lower, not by a ton but enough to make me check that way from now on. It doesn't work every single time, but it's happened enough that I keep doing it.

I got a cheap flight to Miami last month by checking on Wednesday afternoons.
