Important Changes

⚠️

Update to Metadata Cache Retrieval Period

On 1 May 2026, a minimum Metadata Retrieval Cache Period of 30 seconds will be enforced for remote repositories in Artifactory SaaS. This change will provide resource optimization and performance improvements.

To take proactive action ahead of this enforcement, update remote repositories with a Metadata Retrieval Cache Period below the minimum to a value of 30 or over. The 30 second minimum does not apply to smart remote repositories, and they can continue to have a value lower than 30.

For more information, see ​Cache Settings for Remote Repositories.

• Before upgrading to Artifactory version 7.98.7 and above, see Artifactory Self-Managed Releases. The recent Self-Managed Artifactory versions contain important changes to authentication.
