Rate limits on GitLab.com are changing

GitLab.com is implementing subscription-based rate limits starting October 19, 2026, with free and unauthenticated requests affected first, followed by Premium and Ultimate plan changes in January 2027. Users can access higher limits by signing in with their subscription credentials, and preview windows will be held in early October to test the new limits before they take effect. Most users are already operating within the new limits and should see minimal impact.
