          description: >-
            The policy type of this time off balance. This field is an open
            enum: Merge can return a value outside this list when an integration
            provides one it does not map. Pass `show_enum_origins=policy_type`
            to receive the integration's own value instead.

          type: boolean
          description: >-
            Indicates whether or not this object has been deleted in the third
            party platform. Full coverage deletion detection is a premium

            coverage. [Learn
