<p>Cloudflare logs now include up to 128 bytes of a rule description, increased from 80 bytes. Longer descriptions provide more context when investigating matched rules and make it easier to identify the relevant rule without referring back to its configuration.</p> <p>Descriptions longer than 128 bytes are truncated without splitting a UTF-8 character. This change does not affect the Rulesets API, which continues to accept rule descriptions of up to 4,096 bytes.</p> <p>For more information, refer to <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/rulesets-api/json-object/#rule-object-structure-and-properties">Rule object structure and properties</a>.</p>

The text above is the source's. reef added the severity, the dates it could read from the text, and the endpoints and scopes named in code.
