## Streak pauses

Streak pauses protect a streak over a known and pre-defined date range, such as a scheduled vacation or break.

Streak pauses can be managed via the admin API:

```
trophy.admin.streaks.pauses.create({
  pauses: [
    { userId: 'user-123', start: '2026-08-20', end: '2026-08-27' },
    { userId: 'user-456', start: '2026-09-01', end: '2026-09-07' },
  ]
});
```

## Streak days off

You can now select specific days of the week that your streak feature should be protected, for example weekends.

Select streak days off on the streaks page of the Trophy dashboard:

Additionally, if [streak personalization](https://docs.trophy.so/features/streaks#streak-personalization) is enabled, you can use the new `streak.daysOff` user preference to allow users to choose which days they want their streak to be protected.

## Anniversary achievements

Anniversary achievements are a new achievement type in Trophy, that automatically unlock when users reach yearly account milestones.

![Anniversary achievements in Trophy](https://storage.ghost.io/c/19/20/1920b913-769b-42d4-8aea-7e26af22b8ee/content/images/2026/09/466shots_so.png)

Anniversary achievements use the new `signUpDate` key user attribute to determine account age and can be configured on the achievements page of the Trophy dashboard.

## Test webhook utility

You can now trigger test webhooks from the Trophy dashboard, helping you test integrations before they go live.

## Improved billing page

The billing page now includes more details of your Trophy plan including limits and allowances, options for downloading past invoices, and a view of usage over time across all metered products.
