+
+The dbt Labs team continues to work on adding new features, fixing bugs, and increasing reliability for the [dbt Semantic Layer](/docs/use-dbt-semantic-layer/dbt-sl) and [MetricFlow](/docs/build/about-metricflow). This release note includes our work in March 2024:
+
+## New features
+
+- **Privatelink:** The Semantic Layer services now support using Privatelink for customers who have it enabled.
+- **SSO support for Semantic Layer development:** You can now develop against and test your Semantic Layer in the Cloud CLI if your developer credential uses SSO.
+
+## Updates
+
+**Entities are selectable in the Google Sheets app:** You can select entities to Group By, Filter By, and Order By.
+
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+- `dbt parse` no longer shows an error when you use a list of filters (instead of just a string filter) on a metric.
+- `join_to_timespine` now properly gets applied to conversion metric input measures.
+- Fixed an issue where exports in Redshift were not always committing to the DWH, which also had the side-effect of leaving table locks open.

 | Job | A collection of run steps, settings, and a trigger to invoke dbt commands against a project in the user's cloud data platform. |
 | Job queue | The job queue acts as a waiting area for job runs when they are scheduled or triggered to run; runs remain in queue until execution begins. More specifically, the Scheduler checks the queue for runs that are due to execute, ensures the run is eligible to start, and then prepares an environment with appropriate settings, credentials, and commands to begin execution. Once execution begins, the run leaves the queue. |
 | Over-scheduled job | A situation when a cron-scheduled job's run duration becomes longer than the frequency of the job’s schedule, resulting in a job queue that will grow faster than the scheduler can process the job’s runs. |
+| Deactivated job | A situation where a job has reached 100 consecutive failing runs. |
 | Prep time | The time dbt Cloud takes to create a short-lived environment to execute the job commands in the user's cloud data platform. Prep time varies most significantly at the top of the hour when the dbt Cloud Scheduler experiences a lot of run traffic. |
 | Run | A single, unique execution of a dbt job. |
 | Run slot | Run slots control the number of jobs that can run concurrently. Developer plans have a fixed number of run slots, while Enterprise and Team plans have [unlimited run slots](/docs/dbt-versions/release-notes/July-2023/faster-run#unlimited-job-concurrency-for-enterprise-accounts). Each running job occupies a run slot for the duration of the run. <br /><br />Team and Developer plans are limited to one project each. For additional projects, consider upgrading to the [Enterprise plan](https://www.getdbt.com/pricing/).|

 To prevent over-scheduling, users will need to take action by either refactoring the job so it runs faster or modifying its [schedule](/docs/deploy/deploy-jobs#schedule-days).
 
+## Deactivation of jobs <Lifecycle status='beta' />
+
+To reduce unnecessary resource consumption and reduce contention for run slots in your account, dbt Cloud will deactivate a [deploy job](/docs/deploy/deploy-jobs) or a [CI job](/docs/deploy/ci-jobs) if it reaches 100 consecutive failing runs and indicate this through the use of banners. When this happens, scheduled and triggered-to-run jobs will no longer be enqueued. 
+
+To reactivate a deactivated job, you can either:
+- Update the job's settings to fix the issue and save the job (recommended)
+- Perform a manual run by clicking **Run now** on the job's page
