Graphite Dev Rate Limits

Graphite does not publish a standalone public REST API, so there is no documented per-key RPM/RPS API rate limit. The practical limits a Graphite customer encounters are: GitHub's own API rate limits, which Graphite's GitHub App is engineered to use efficiently (fine-grained permissions and short-lived tokens to avoid secondary rate limits); plan-based caps on AI Reviews and Graphite Chat (limited on the Hobby plan, unlimited on Team); and merge queue throughput governed by CI capacity and queue configuration. No specific numeric API limits are reconciled in this artifact.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, reviews, chats, and pull_requests.

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

Tagged areas include Code Review, Stacked PRs, Merge Queue, Developer Tools, and GitHub.

GitHub-Mediated

Plan-Based Quotas
