GitHub rate limit

You can check your rate limit (usage/quota) via the GitHub REST API using your token. Run this in your terminal:

curl -H "Authorization: token YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/rate_limit

• Replace YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual token.
• The response will include your current rate limits and remaining requests.

Sample response snippet:

{
  "rate": {
    "limit": 5000,
    "remaining": 4999,
    "reset": 1372700873
  }
}

GitHub limits are per hour, per user, per authenticated token.

GitLab

GitLab doesn’t provide a direct endpoint for rate limit status like GitHub, but API limits are described in their docs:

• GitLab Rate Limits Documentation

You can monitor by handling error responses in your integrations.

Azure DevOps

Azure DevOps has throttling limits, but doesn’t provide a rate limit endpoint. You’ll see HTTP 429 messages if you hit the limit.
