Skew Protection helps ensure that requests for a user's session are consistently routed to the same deployment, even when new versions are being rolled out.

You can now configure your project's [Skew Protection](https://vercel.com/docs/skew-protection) max age to persist for the entire lifetime of your deployments. This removes the previous limits of 12 hours on Pro and 7 days on Enterprise.

Set the value to any duration less than or equal to your project's [Deployment Retention](https://vercel.com/docs/deployment-retention) policy.
