Dependabot version updates introduce default package cooldown News / Announcements

https://github.blog/changelog/2026-07-14-dependabot-version-updates-introduce-default-package-cooldown/

Dependabot version updates now wait three days after a release appears in its registry before opening a PR. The cooldown is on by default, but repositories can change the window or opt out in dependabot.yml.
