File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/docdb-serverless-limitations.md

Summary

Updated DocumentDB serverless limitations documentation to clarify engine version support (only 5.0.0) and added note about global clusters requiring higher capacity in primary AWS Region, while removing outdated feature limitations section.

Security assessment

The changes are routine documentation updates about feature availability and capacity requirements. There is no mention of security vulnerabilities, patches, or security incidents. The changes clarify which engine versions support serverless and note capacity requirements for global clusters, which are operational considerations.
