.Monitors in Synthetics may stop running
[%collapsible]
====
*Details* +
If Monitor Management was enabled prior to 8.6.0, the API key generated internally will not contain the required permissions. The Synthetics app will attempt to fix this automatically in {kibana-pull}155203[#155203] when a user with https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/8.8/synthetics-role-setup.html[sufficient privileges] visits this page for the first time after upgrading to 8.8.0.
*Impact* +
All monitors configured to run on Elastic’s global managed testing infrastructure will stop running until a user with permissions has loaded the Synthetics app.

.Network throttling disabled for browser monitors in Synthetics
[%collapsible]
====
*Details* +
Network throttling has been temporarily disabled for browser-based Synthetics monitors running on Elastic’s global managed testing infrastructure and private locations. This will be enabled again at some point in the future. We're providing frequent updates on this issue in https://github.com/elastic/synthetics/blob/main/docs/throttling.md[this document].
*Impact* +
With network throttling being disabled, your monitors may run more quickly (i.e. have a lower duration) than you observed previously and than when network throttling is enabled again in the future. No monitor configurations have been changed, but the network throttling settings are ignored at the moment.

*Details* +
Synthetics and Uptime monitor schedules and zip URL fields are deprecated. For more information, refer to {kibana-pull}154010[#154010] and {kibana-pull}154952[#154952].
Synthetics now only accepts the following scheduling options for your monitors: every 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes. Other choices that existed previously have been deprecated. For more information, refer to {kibana-pull}154010[#154010] and {kibana-pull}154952[#154952].
*Impact* +
When you create monitors in Uptime Monitor Management and the Synthetics app, unsupported schedules are automatically transfered to the nearest supported schedule. To use zip URLs, use project monitors.
Monitors that were using a scheduling option that is no longer valid have been automatically updated to use the nearest value from the new list of options.
