• Users are now able to set a “Payment Term” value on the Customer. This value will auto-populate on any Invoice that is created for them.

Security / Stability:

• Now setting a timeout on report generation. If a report takes too long to generate, this could potentially stack up requests and hog up CPU usage, resulting in poorer performance until the report(s) are finished generating.
• Now limiting the number of history entries. We have had issues where a client using our API bugs out and results in too many history entries, slowing down their instance. Please contact support@qbench.net to discuss modifying this limit
• We are now enforcing our 300/1minute API call rate The API will return a 429 Response (Too Many Requests) if it exceeds the limit. Please contact support@qbench.net to discuss modifying this limit
