The default behaviour for polling GET /jobs/{jobid} and GET /jobs/{jobid}/transcript endpoints is changing so that requests can wait for up to 2 seconds for a job to complete before returning. This reduces the need for frequent client-side polling and can improve turnaround time for users.
This behaviour can be disabled by sending wait=0 to return immediately. Client-side polling can be avoided for most jobs by using Synchronous transcription.
