During today's (Tuesday) maintenance window for Splinterlands, small fees will be added for listing cards on the card and rental markets. The fee is minuscule (1 DEC or 1 credit per listing), but for someone with lots of cards rented out and who is used to updating prices regularly, they add up.
Rental services won't be working for a while after this change is implemented until they made the necessary adjustments and tests, so make sure you act accordingly.
There is also a 30-day expiration time added to listings on both the rental market and the card market.
I've linked this post before, but for reminders, here's where all the details are explained:

In most cases, these changes should not have a big impact on us, while I understand the benefit of reducing the load on Splinterlands servers.
If you are using a rental service to rent out cards, it is a good idea to make sure all of the cards you want to be rented out are on the market before the maintenance window starts.
Splex, the service I use to manage rentals, already announced how will they handle it, and the rent golem will likely be unavailable for a few days, while they update and test things out.
This is an extract from their discord message:
If you use Splex for renting out cards, that is for you. If not, you should check how things will work out with the service you use.
