 This endpoint returns client activity information for a given billing
 period, which is represented by the `start_time` and `end_time` parameters.
 
-There are a few things to keep in mind while using this API.
-
-- For Vault versions before 1.11, the activity information only accounts for
-the activity of the latest contiguous months in the billing period.
-For example, if the billing period is from Jan 2022 to June 2022, and the
-activity subsystem in Vault was not capturing data for the months Jan to March,
-the response will only include information for May and June. Note that if no
-`start_time` and `end_time` parameters are specified, the billing period defaults
-to 12 months, so the endpoint will return activity information from the end of the
-previous month to the start of 12 months prior to that date.
-
-- As of 1.11, this behavior has been modified to return all available data within
-the specified billing period.
-
-- As of 1.12, the `end_time` can be the current month.

 - The response contains the total activity for the billing period and the
 attributions of the total activity against specific components in Vault. This
 helps in understanding the total activity better by knowing which components in
