- In the API Priority and Fairness feature, priority levels that are exempt from limitation can now be given a nominal and a lendable concurrency and their dispatching borrows from the concurrency limits of the other priority levels.  For details see https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-api-machinery/1040-priority-and-fairness#dispatching .

- Priority and Fairness feature is now `stable`, the feature gate will be removed in `v1.31`. ([#121638](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121638), [@tkashem](https://github.com/tkashem))

- Made legacy watch calls (`ResourceVersion` = 0 or unset) that generate init-events weigh higher in `API Priority and Fairness (APF)` seat usage. Properly accounting for their cost protects the API server from CPU overload. Users might see increased throttling of such calls as a result.
