- Platform/SRE — Skip
- CI/CD — Act: Unauthenticated GitLab.com API requests will be hard-capped at 60/hour per IP starting October 19, 2026 — automation running against paid accounts without credentials is also affected. Audit all pipelines and scripts for unauthenticated GitLab.com calls and ensure they use authenticated tokens before October 19; a preview enforcement window runs October 7 and 14.
- Leader — Plan: Rate limits will align with subscription tier (Free on October 19, Premium/Ultimate in January 2027), which may expose gaps in how teams authenticate automation or whether the org’s tier is adequate. Schedule a review of GitLab.com subscription tier and org-wide authentication standards before October 19.
