Back in macOS 10.13, when Apple first introduced the restriction forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates there was another restriction enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay that was introduced in macOS 10.13.4 that was used in conjunction.

In macOS 11, the restriction forceDelayedAppSoftwareUpdates has been introduced.

The the existing restriction enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay also apply to this new restriction? In other words if I set the software update delay to 60 days will both OS software updates and non-OS software updated (eg: applications) be delayed by 60 days?

Hi there, you are correct. The enforcedSoftwareUpdateDelay key will set the same delay for both forceDelayedAppSoftwareUpdates and forceDelayedSoftwareUpdates.
