Gitee Rate Limits

The Gitee Open API v5 enforces per-window request rate limits and returns X-RateLimit-* response headers. On 2026-07-12 an unauthenticated request to GET https://gitee.com/api/v5/repos/oschina/git-osc returned X-RateLimit-Limit: 60 with a decrementing X-RateLimit-Remaining, confirming a 60-requests-per-minute cap for unauthenticated (public) access. Authenticated requests (personal access token or OAuth2) receive a higher allowance. Exceeding the limit yields HTTP 403/429 responses. Some write-heavy or search endpoints may apply additional per-endpoint constraints.
