[SOLVED]

"We will also adjust specific aspects of The Cayo Perico Heist Finale to better balance a player’s time spent in GTA Online. Solo playthroughs of The Cayo Perico Heist Finale will trigger a cooldown of 3 in-game days."

This could be annoying to speedrunners, though they mention that SOLO PLAYTHROUGHS will trigger the 2.5 hour cooldown, so maybe you can avoid it by having someone join and then back out once you're in the finale. Nonetheless this will be annoying to solo runners unless there's a way to bypass the cooldown

[Update] Thank you WITT for bringing up the dc mission replay glitch, been doing it ever since I read that it's legal and still haven't been banned.

Welp I guess people should get there runs in quickly before the update lol. But for real someone will eventually find a bypass for it

You should be able to use a 2nd character to at least mitigate the cooldown time once the update drops unless Rockstar is going to be that petty and make the cooldown apply to both characters after completing the finale for one. Otherwise, you can just cancel the heist if the run is killed and go again

Disconnecting at the end of a run/the finale has been allowed to bypass the cooldown a long while (if not always) for OG/DD/Casino heists and is part of the category rules for Cayo as well (and more, i.e. Contracts too - obsolete for Dre since can't cancel anyway though)

@madebyWITT Yeah I was just reading the rules again and noticed the disconnect rule, though I forget if there was some controversy with R* banning people or something (maybe that was just on console). Though it's probably my memory being hazy if it's fine to disconnect to skip the cooldown.

Is the d/c glitch still possible if so do you keep they money afterwards??

I would say as a speedrunner, it's not our goal to keep the money, the goal is to avoid the cooldown so you can practice your cayo speedrun. (^^)
