Summary

  • Updates the stale limitation about fairness stats and server restarts
  • The previous wording ("Fairness stats are not persisted") was no longer accurate — Temporal now preserves counters for up to 100 active fairness keys across restarts
  • Replaces it with accurate language reflecting that restarts are generally not noticeable in practice

Context

Customer question surfaced in internal Slack: teams were concerned that server restarts would meaningfully disrupt fairness. Engineering confirmed the opposite — only keys outside the top 100 by activity may temporarily lose their relative position, and disruption is generally not noticeable.

The existing limitation was actively misleading customers and discouraging adoption.

The previous limitation implied fairness stats were never persisted, which
is no longer accurate. Temporal now preserves counters for up to 100 active
fairness keys across restarts, making disruption generally unnoticeable.
