Upcoming Sunset: Removing the Webhooks rateLimitPolicy and period fields

[dennisedson]

What’s happening?

On May 20th, 2024, we will be removing two deprecated fields from the different versions of the Webhooks API:

• The rateLimitPolicy field will be removed from the legacy v1 Webhooks API
• The period field will be removed from the v3 Webhooks API

Webhooks currently only support a concurrency limit, and have not supported a rate limit for several years.  These fields have been optional in the API and haven't had any effect on how webhooks operate.

Why is this happening?

Because we have implemented a concurrency limit rather than a rate limit, this field is no longer relevant.  Removal of this field will also eliminate any confusion and make it clear that we are implementing a concurrency limit and not a rate limit for the Webhooks API..

When is this happening?

The sunset for this feature is scheduled for May 20, 2024.
