cooldown / default-days is not a recognized key in the Dependabot v2 configuration schema (unknown keys can cause Dependabot to reject the whole config and stop creating PRs). If the intent is to reduce PR frequency, consider switching schedule.interval to weekly (optionally with day, time, timezone) or using groups/ignore rules instead of cooldown.

Same as above: cooldown / default-days is not part of the Dependabot v2 config schema and may prevent Dependabot from processing this file. Prefer adjusting schedule.interval (e.g., weekly) and/or using groups/ignore to control PR volume.
