Waiting Room Event Scheduling protects your site during online events
SummaryAI, from the source post

Introduced Waiting Room Event Scheduling, allowing enterprise customers to schedule changes to Waiting Room settings and custom queueing pages ahead of time for online events. This includes support for cascading changes across different event stages (pre-event, during event, post-event). New queuing methods 'Reject' and 'Passthrough' were added. 'Reject' presents a static HTML page to offload traffic, while 'Passthrough' allows unrestricted access but provides traffic stats. 'Queue All' can be quickly activated on a passive waiting room for emergency traffic control. Event Scheduling also supports pre-queuing with optional shuffling to manage traffic before an event starts and ensure fairness.
