## What happened

DeFi Saver’s official explanation confirms that its limit-order trigger buffer has been reduced from 1% to 0.15%.

## What changed

The backend can attempt execution with a quote closer to the user’s target, changing the operational threshold for automated swaps.

## What did not change

The user’s limit price remains unchanged. Execution still depends on backend submission, available balances and on-chain condition checks; orders fill completely or revert.

## Confirmed

- The official notice identifies the old and new trigger buffers as 1% and 0.15%.
- The backend monitors conditions and submits the eventual transaction.
- The smart contract rechecks conditions and can revert if the price no longer qualifies.
- The notice states that reaching the limit price alone does not guarantee immediate execution.

## Still open

- The precise rollout date and whether all supported deployments changed simultaneously.
- Measured execution and revert performance under volatile conditions.
- Which selected automation positions use this feature.

## What it means for an advisor

- Review the DeFi Saver memo’s order-trigger and execution-reliability assumptions.
- Update operational testing scenarios to reflect the smaller trigger buffer.
- Keep backend transaction routing and execution latency in the automation dependency analysis.
