Retirement: Azure Policy faster enforcement and retirement of login/logout workaround
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.
