v24.3 (and 24.2.5+) enforce the new CockroachDB Software License; with no license key the cluster throttles to 5 concurrent open transactions cluster-wide. A v24.3.33 image bump (2026-06-30) caused a platform-wide outage on 2026-07-26 when the 30-day grace period expired. v24.2.4 is the last patch under the old free BSL/Core terms and the last one without throttle enforcement. Full data backup taken before rollback.
