+## Throttle behavior
+
+There's one bugfix in 2.4 that's worth calling out, as it will *invalidate existing throttle caches* when you upgrade.
+
+We've now fixed a typo on the `cache_format` attribute. Previously this was named `"throtte_%(scope)s_%(ident)s"`, it is now `"throttle_%(scope)s_%(ident)s"`.
+
+If you're concerned about the invalidation you have two options.
+
+* Manually pre-populate your cache with the fixed version.
+* Set the `cache_format` attribute on your throttle class in order to retain the previous incorrect spelling.

 * Bugfix: Set the `.action` attribute on viewsets when introspected by `OPTIONS` for testing permissions on the view.
 * Bugfix: Ensure `ValueError` raised during deserialization results in a error list rather than a single error. This is now consistent with other validation errors.
