Dear GHC devs, as part of my effort to increase the usability of our gitlab instance, I have started employing rate limiting for unauthenticated API requests. The majority of the traffic on the machine and the reason why you experience slowness is disrespectful crawlers that hit expensive API endpoints (hundreds of requests per second look at random commits). Previously they were allowed to do this multiple times per second for hours and hours. Now they get a more modest but still very generous budget. If you're using the API unauthenticated with scripts and hit rate limits, please consider if you really have to hammer it that hard. If you really can't get around sending so many requests, you may use an API token. Authenticated requests are currently almost not rate limited at all. If this turns out to be to impairing for users, I will increase the limits. Best Magnus
