Description

Over the years, we’ve made significant investments to improve the responsiveness of the Azure Policy service. As a result, policy assignment creation and updates for Resource Manager mode policies now get enforced within 5 minutes.

In light of cache refresh optimizations that are now in place, we’re removing the ‘login/logout workaround’ that triggered faster propagation of policy changes in your environment.

Starting April 30, 2026, the ‘login/logout’ workaround will no longer be available, enabling further enhancements in performance and reliability for all customers.
