**Platform gracefully auto-aborts PPE runs over $$$ limit** Due to developer feedback about issues implementing the Actor max charge limit set on every run, we have implemented a backstop. From today’s release, when the platform discovers that the run has hit the Actor max charge limit, the run will be automatically aborted, with 30 seconds graceful period. <@&999256322673496174> <@&1092713625141137429> You should use`Actor.on('aborting', () => {…cleanup and terminate as soon as possible…})`. If you're not already handling this `aborting` event anyway, please start to. Docs are incoming and I'll update this announcement with the link when it's ready.
