Blacksmith Sh Rate Limits

Blacksmith does not expose a documented public REST API, so there are no published HTTP request rate limits to reconcile. Blacksmith advertises unlimited job concurrency on its runner fleet - jobs are not subject to the same concurrency caps as GitHub-hosted runners and are not queued behind other tenants. The relevant limits are upstream GitHub API rate limits used when registering and managing runners; Blacksmith offers optional auxiliary "Scale Apps" (additional GitHub Apps) that raise per-organization rate-limit headroom for runner provisioning. The 3,000 free minutes per month and 25 GB free cache storage per repository per week function as usage quotas rather than throttling limits. Specific values are not reconciled in this artifact.

Blacksmith Sh Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Blacksmith on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

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

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

Tagged areas include CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Runners, Caching, and Docker.
