GCP Release Notes: December 23, 2025

Apigee X

Announcement

On December 23, 2025, we released an updated version of Apigee.

Feature

New Apigee policies for LLM Token Management are now Generally Available (GA)

Two new Apigee policies for managing Large Language Model (LLM) workloads are now Generally Available (GA). These policies provide fine-grained control and rate-limiting for AI application traffic as follows:

• LLMTokenQuota policy
  • This policy monitors and enforces limits on LLM response token usage to control overall LLM expenditure and resource allocation.
  • It can be configured with <CountOnly> (placed in the response flow to track tokens consumed) or <EnforceOnly> (placed in the request flow to block calls if the quota is exceeded).
  • If the quota is reached, Apigee returns an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) status code.
  • For more information, see LLMTokenQuota Policy.
• PromptTokenLimit policy
  • This policy provides a token-based rate-limiting mechanism analogous to the SpikeArrest policy, specifically for the tokens consumed by the user’s prompt message.
  • It calculates the prompt’s token count using the widely adopted o200k_base encoding technique.
  • If the configured token rate limit is exceeded, the incoming request is blocked, returning an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) status code.
  • For more information, see PromptTokenLimit policy.

Cloud Composer

Issue

Environments with Cloud Composer 2 versions 2.16.0 and 2.16.1 might experience a known issue with the reporting of metrics. You can observe a few skipped data points in the reported metrics and see error messages about the airflow-monitoring pod restarts in the environment logs.

This issue doesn’t affect the environment’s functionality. The environment is still operational and the environment health and monitoring information is reported correctly. You can ignore the error messages.
