### **How Cooldown Works**
759
761
760
-
* WhenDependabot runs updates as per defined schedule, it checks the **cooldown settings** to determine if new release for dependency is still within its cooldown period.
762
+
* When{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} runs updates as per defined schedule, it checks the **cooldown settings** to determine if new release for dependency is still within its cooldown period.
761
763
* If new version release date is within the cooldown period, dependency version update is **filtered out** and will not be updated until the cooldown period expires.
762
764
* Once the cooldown period ends for new version, the dependency update proceeds based on the standard update strategy defined in `dependabot.yml`.
