so I can see this is a TEMP bump - what plan do we have to ensure this temp doesn't become a semi-permanent thing that will throw someone later?
Also is there a PR for these python client changes that needs reviewing?

Depends on alphagov/notifications-python-client#255
We're currently dividing the effectiveness of any connection-pooling we're doing to api-web by >20x by having a separate connection pool per sub-api-client. This contributes to the excessive number of GreenThreads api-web needs to keep active when it has keepalive enabled.
Instead keep a single (lazily-constructed)
requests.Sessionper-thread which gets injected into each sub-api-client at lazy-construction-time.
