GitHub announced a change to Dependabot's version update behavior. The
update introduces a default cooldown period for packages. This
cooldown limits how frequently updates are applied. The change aims to
reduce noise and avoid excessive version churn. Users can still
configure the cooldown settings if needed. The modification is part of
the July 14, 2026 changelog. It affects projects that rely on
Dependabot for dependency management. Developers should review their
Dependabot configuration after the update.
