   NOTIFY pgrst, 'reload schema'
 
+Debouncing
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+PostgREST does not reload the schema cache for each notification when several ``NOTIFY pgrst`` events are generated quickly after one another.
+
+There are two cases to consider: when notifications are sent within a single transaction and when they are sent across multiple transactions.
+
+In the first case, PostgreSQL deduplicates identical ``NOTIFY`` events within the same transaction. This means that even if multiple ``NOTIFY pgrst`` statements are executed before a ``COMMIT``, only a single notification is delivered to PostgREST.
+
+In the second case, when notifications are sent from separate transactions in a short time span, PostgREST applies a debouncing mechanism to avoid excessive schema cache reloads.
+
+Instead of reloading the schema cache for each notification, events are grouped within a small time window. The reload function is executed once immediately when the first notification is received and once more after the burst of events settles.
