      * @notice Stages a provision parameter update. Note that the change is not effective until the verifier calls

+     * ones.
      * @dev This two step update process prevents the service provider from changing the parameters
      * without the verifier's consent.
      *
+     * Requirements:
+     * - `thawingPeriod` must be less than or equal to `_maxThawingPeriod`. Note that if `_maxThawingPeriod` changes the
+     * function will not revert if called with the same thawing period as the current one.
+     *
      * Emits a {ProvisionParametersStaged} event if at least one of the parameters changed.

      * @param serviceProvider The service provider address
