+<Update label="Aug 29, 2026" description="X API v2">
+  ### New features
+
+  - **Broadcast lifecycle events in the X Activity API.** We added `broadcast.start` and `broadcast.end` events to the [X Activity API](/x-api/activity/introduction). Subscribe by User ID to be notified in real time when a user starts or ends a live broadcast. Both are public events, so you can subscribe with either app-only or user-context authentication.
+  - **Filter qualifiers for X Activity API subscriptions.** Subscriptions now accept an optional `filter.qualifiers` map (up to 8 entries) to narrow which events match: `conversation_type` (`direct`, `group`) on `chat.received`, and `direction` (`inbound`, `outbound`) on `follow.follow`, `follow.unfollow`, and `like.create`. Unsupported keys or values return a 400 error. See [Filter qualifiers](/x-api/activity/introduction#filter-qualifiers).
+  - **Credit balance endpoint.** The new [`GET /2/usage/credits`](/x-api/usage/get-usage-credits) endpoint returns your Pay-Per-Use credit balance in USD, so you can monitor remaining credits programmatically.
+
+  ### Updates
+
+  - **Pay-per-use Post cap raised to 3 million.** The monthly Post read cap on pay-per-use plans increased from 2 million to 3 million. See [Post cap](/x-api/fundamentals/post-cap).
+  - **`is_subscriber` on `broadcast.chat` events.** The `broadcast.chat` event payload in the X Activity API now includes an `is_subscriber` boolean. See [Event payloads](/x-api/activity/event-payloads).
