Autopatch Telemetry Setting

Hello, I'm looking for the doc that says which Telemetry Level AutoPatch requires.
For Windows Update Compliance, I set "AllowTelemetry" to 1, but after enrolling machines in AutoPatch, I see the setting is now set to 2 on the endpoints.  Was this caused by AutoPatch?

I'm sure there is a doc somewhere that says AutoPatch Requires Basic or Enhanced, just can't find it.
Thanks

      What I get from the article is that I should probably allow for more telemetry to not break anything. However, I already assumed this before reading it.

      The article helps a bit, but it's not a definitive "do this or that happens".
  • Would like to know this as well. I know that AutoPatch relies on telemetry; however, I'd like to give it the minimal needed. If telemetry can be reduced, what are the impacts?
