Summary

Updated release notes with enhanced hold duration tracking, email quota updates (addresses per message, attachments, expiry, domains), and reorganization of content under May Updates section

Security assessment

Changes focus on feature enhancements (hold tracking) and quota adjustments. While email domain/address limits could have security implications for spam/abuse prevention, there's no explicit mention of security vulnerabilities or security feature additions. The 'active email contact expiry' extension to 90 days might relate to data retention policies but isn't explicitly security-focused.

+## Enhanced hold duration tracking for multiparty calls
+
+You can track durations of holds initiated by individual agents in multiparty calling scenarios by using the new Agent Initiated Hold Duration field on the contact record. Use this field to gain insights into hold patterns at the individual agent level during customer interactions. For more information, see [](./ctr-data-model.html#AgentInitiatedHoldDuration-CTR) in the [Data model for Amazon Connect contact records](./ctr-data-model.html) topic.

+## Updates to email quotas
+
+The following updates have been released for email quotas and feature specifications: 
+
+###### New
+
+  * **Email addresses per inbound email message** quota is 50 email addresses total across To and CC. It is not adjustable.
+
+  * **File attachments per email** = 10 attachments. This is a feature specification and cannot be adjusted.
+
+
+
+
+###### Updates
+
+  * **Active email contact expiry** quota is customizable up to 90 days. 
+
+  * **Email domains per instance quota** quota has been increased from 5 custom email domains to 100.
+
+  * **Email addresses per instance** is an adjustable quota; it was incorrectly documented as a feature specification. The default is 100.
+
+
+
+
+For more information, see [Amazon Connect service quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/amazon-connect-service-limits.html).
