hello Consensus Node operators,

Please add this flag to your consensus nodes and restart the node:

`--cruise-ctl-enabled=true`

The flag adjusts the block rate so that epoch transitions happen at the expected time. Read [here](https://www.notion.so/dapperlabs/Cruise-Control-Automated-Block-Rate-Epoch-Timing-Design-4dbcb0dab1394fc7b91966d7d84ad48d?pvs=4) for more.

If you have added the flag already, then no action is needed.

_No action needed for any other node type_  
\*If you are running multiple consensus nodes, then update the nodes one at a time, pausing for a few seconds between every node update"

Thank you
