# Renames the Reserve Release reason enum value

## What’s new

For [Reserve Releases](https://docs.stripe.com/api/reserve/release/object.md?api-version=2026-09-30.endive), renames the `bulk_hold_expiry` value to `hold_expired` for the [reason](https://docs.stripe.com/api/reserve/release/object.md?api-version=2026-09-30.endive) property. This property describes why funds were released.

The `reason` property is an [open enum](https://docs.stripe.com/api/enums.md?api-version=2026-09-30.endive), so additional values can be added over time. Make sure your integration can handle unrecognised values gracefully.

## Why is this a breaking change?

If your code matches on the `bulk_hold_expiry` value, you must update it to use `hold_expired` instead.

## Impact

Update your integration to handle `hold_expired` instead of `bulk_hold_expiry` when checking the `reason` property on Reserve Release objects.
