Amazon Connect now supports agent time off scheduling up to 24 months in the future

Amazon Connect now includes the ability for agents to schedule time off up to 24 months in the future, making it easier for managers and agents to plan ahead of time. With this launch, agents can now book time off in Connect up to 24 months ahead of time (an increase from 13 months). Additionally, you can now upload pre-approved time off windows for a scheduling group (group allowance) for up to 27 months at a time (an increase from 13 months). These increased limits provide agents more flexibility to plan their personal time and also provide managers better visibility into future staffing needs, thus enabling more efficient resource allocation. This feature is available in all [AWS Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/regions.html#optimization%5Fregion) where Amazon Connect agent scheduling is available.
