Summary

We are deprecating Absolute Paging and related properties across all endpoints that return List Resources on September 14th, 2015. This change will impact accounts created after June 16th, 2015, which will no longer receive these properties in their list responses. The decision to sunset Absolute Paging was made due to its limitations with large page numbers and the high cost of calculating counts, which led us to opt for Relative Paging using AfterSid and BeforeSid, and caching instead. This change allows us to maintain a balance between rich filtering, high performance, and accurate data while minimizing the impact on customers. The new helper libraries will be updated to remove these properties, and we recommend utilizing the Usage API for alternative data aggregation needs.
