+TIP: This supplier is also recommended for setups with a small number of instances per service
 in order to avoid retrying calls on a failing instance.
 
+WARNING: If using any of the Service Discovery-backed suppliers, adding this health-check mechanism is usually not necessary, as we retrieve the health state of the instances directly
+from the Service Registry.
+
+TIP: The `HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier` relies on having updated instances provided by a delegate flux. In the rare cases when you want to use a delegate that does not refresh the instances, even though the list of instances may change (such as the `ReactiveDiscoveryClientServiceInstanceListSupplier` provided by us), you can set `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.refetch-instances` to `true` to have the instance list refreshed by the `HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier`. You can then also adjust the refretch intervals by modifying the value of `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.refetch-instances-interval` and opt to disable the additional healthcheck repetitions by setting `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.repeat-health-check` to `fasle` as every instances refetch
+  will also trigger a healthcheck.
+
 `HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier` uses properties prefixed with
 `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check`. You can set the `initialDelay` and `interval`
 for the scheduler. You can set the default path for the healthcheck URL by setting
 the value of the `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.path.default`. You can also set a specific value
 for any given service by setting the value of the `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.health-check.path.[SERVICE_ID]`, substituting the `[SERVICE_ID]` with the correct ID of your service. If the path is not set, `/actuator/health` is used by default.
 
-TIP:: If you rely on the default path (`/actuator/health`), make sure you add `spring-boot-starter-actuator` to your collaborator's dependencies, unless you are planning to add such an endpoint on your own.

 In order to use the health-check scheduler approach, you will have to instantiate a `HealthCheckServiceInstanceListSupplier` bean in a <<custom-loadbalancer-configuration,custom configuration>>.
