GitLab is overhauling how it throttles requests on GitLab.com, moving from flat limits to caps tied to each subscription plan, applied per user and per top-level group. Free accounts and unauthenticated traffic hit the new limits on October 19, 2026, with two brownout previews on October 7 and 14; Premium and Ultimate users follow in January 2027. Unauthenticated requests, including automation hitting the API without credentials, will be capped at 60 requests per hour per IP regardless of account tier.
