There are two available flavors of dynamic sampling, depending on the plan type of your organization:
- **Dynamic Sampling with Sampling Priorities** - available on selected Team, Business & Enterprise plans\
By analyzing incoming traffic patterns, Dynamic Sampling is able to automatically tailor its sample rate to both the actual traffic volume and the content of accepted transactions. For more details, check out the [Dynamic Sampling Priorities](#dynamic-sampling-priorities) section.
- **Dynamic Sampling with Sampling Priorities & Custom Sample Rates** - available on selected Enterprise plans\
Configure and adjust sample rates for stored spans right from the UI without needing to modify your SDK. This makes it possible for you to make instant updates without waiting for code freezes, app store approvals, or redeployments. In addition, by analyzing incoming traffic patterns, Dynamic Sampling is able to prioritize data based on the content of accepted spans. For more details, check out the [Configuration of Custom Sample Rates](#configuration-of-custom-sample-rates) section.

The [Configuration of Custom Sample Rates](#configuration-of-custom-sample-rates) section on this page is only available on plans that enrolled before June 2025. If your organization enrolled after this date, Dynamic Sampling with Sampling Priorities is applied automatically and no manual configuration is required.

I'm a little worried that people might feel they are missing out on something by not being grandfathered in here. I would suggest adding something similar to the warning above where you pointed out that new plans do this automatically.
