+- **Enhancement**: Added support to automatically refresh access tokens when Snowflake's SSO connection expires. Previously, users would get the following error: `Connection is not available, request timed out after 30000ms` and would have to wait 10 minutes to try again.
 - **Enhancement**: The [`dbt_version` format](/reference/commands/version#versioning) in dbt Cloud now better aligns with [semantic versioning rules](https://semver.org/). Leading zeroes have been removed from the month and day (`YYYY.M.D+<suffix>`). For example:
   - New format: `2024.10.8+996c6a8`
   - Previous format: `2024.10.08+996c6a8`

+Consider these limitations and recommendations: 
 
 - `lf_tags` and `lf_tags_columns` configs support only attaching lf tags to corresponding resources.
 - We recommend managing LF Tags permissions somewhere outside dbt. For example, [terraform](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/lakeformation_permissions) or [aws cdk](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_lakeformation-readme.html).
 - `data_cell_filters` management can't be automated outside dbt because the filter can't be attached to the table, which doesn't exist. Once you `enable` this config, dbt will set all filters and their permissions during every dbt run. Such an approach keeps the actual state of row-level security configuration after every dbt run and applies changes if they occur: drop, create, and update filters and their permissions.
 - Any tags listed in `lf_inherited_tags` should be strictly inherited from the database level and never overridden at the table and column level.
 - Currently, `dbt-athena` does not differentiate between an inherited tag association and an override it made previously.
    - For example,  If a `lf_tags_config` value overrides an inherited tag in one run, and that override is removed before a subsequent run, the prior override will linger and no longer be encoded anywhere (for example, Terraform where the inherited value is configured nor in the DBT project where the override previously existed but now is gone).

 - To avoid potential conflicts, make sure [`dbt-athena-adapter`](https://github.com/Tomme/dbt-athena) is not installed in the target environment.
 - Snapshot does not support dropping columns from the source table. If you drop a column, make sure to drop the column from the snapshot as well. Another workaround is to NULL the column in the snapshot definition to preserve the history.
