Bitbucket Pipelines · Rate Limits

Bitbucket Pipelines Rate Limits

Bitbucket Cloud applies hourly rate limits per app/installation/user and per IP, with a 1-hour sliding window. Pipelines also enforces concurrency caps (parallel-step limits) and a per-step build-time cap. The 1-hour API quota is observable through the X-RateLimit-* response headers and 429 carries a Retry-After hint.

Bitbucket Pipelines Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Bitbucket Pipelines on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, minutes, and concurrent_steps.

Limit state is signalled in the X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, and Retry-After response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include DevOps, CI/CD, Pipelines, Atlassian, and Bitbucket.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Honor Retry-After on 429; use exponential backoff with jitter.
Auth Recommendation
Use OAuth 2.0 / workspace access tokens / app passwords; avoid IP-based unauth calls.
