Thanks, Bri. I was hopeful that's what it meant -- but sadly since posting my question, I've noticed that it's not playing out that way in practice for me yet... including a booking that came in just today. Is there anything I need to do on my end to ensure this new pause/delay on instant bookings can work properly?
This isn't the full on delayed response feature. That's still a work in progress. What is described above was a bug fix. If that's still not seeming to work as expected for you, please open a ticket with the Helpdesk and I'll take a look with them.
