+## Ticket Details
+### Prevent assignment of unknown tags
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Tags without a definition can no longer be added via the meshObject API. 
+If you try to do so, you will get an error from the API.
+
+### Chargeback Statements For Projects Without Payment Method
+**Audience:** Customer, Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, there was a bug in Chargeback 2.0 where chargeback statements were not generated for projects without 
+a payment method in meshStacks where the payment method was configured as non-mandatory by our support team. 
+This issue has now been resolved, and you will see the chargeback statements even if there is no payment 
+method set.
+
+### Turning on and off Chargeback 2.0 in Self-Service
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+You can now turn off and on the Chargeback 2.0 process in self-service under
+the Financial subsection of the Settings page. Please note that turning off
+the Chargeback 2.0 option will be only available until the end of February
+and starting from March 1, 2025, Chargeback 2.0 will be the default version.
+Please find more information about Chargeback 2.0 changes and limitations
+[here](https://docs.meshcloud.io/docs/meshcloud.chargeback-v2.html).
+
+### OSB Service Broker Usage with Chargeback 2.0
+**Audience:** Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+The OSB Service Broker Metering & Usage screen and CSV export are now also based on Chargeback 2.0 data.
+Except for a slightly improved default ordering for the lines in the table and the CSV export, no difference
+in data is expected. You can continue to use it as before.
+
+### Use Any Email For Building Block Notifications
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+This fixes a bug which prevented you from saving building block definitions if a user lost access
+to your workspace and was set as a notification receiver.
+It also enables you to use any email address (also those that are not users in meshStack) to 
+receive building block updates such as a group inbox.
+User and email notification receiver are now no longer tied to the workspace access in order
+to receive notifications regarding building blocks.
+
+### New Chart for Payment Methods
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+With this update, we have added a new chart to the payment method, which displays the total spending for each payment method with a dedicated 
+budget line in addition to the distribution of spending across projects chart.
