    Restarting the CLOB to ship the taker-delay order behavior and other updates.

    What to expect:

    • Intermittent trading for up to ~45 min during the window. Orders may not match.

    • Post-only window after restart (2 min) before normal matching resumes.

    What's changing: on markets that use the 250ms crypto taker delay, once a taker order enters the delay window it's pending until the delay completes. While pending it can't be canceled (cancels return can't be canceled because it is pending/delayed), its balance stays reserved, and duplicate orders are rejected. Anything resting on the book is still cancelable. Details: https://docs.polymarket.com/concepts/order-lifecycle#

    ----

    Post-only: only orders explicitly set with postOnly: true are accepted. Regular limit orders without the flag, market orders, and any taking liquidity will be rejected. Cancels for existing orders will still go through.

    See POST /order API reference for the post-only flag.
