Travis Ci Rate Limits

Travis CI's primary throttling mechanisms are (a) the per-plan build credit budget (35K/mo Usage Based, unlimited on Unlimited plans, OSS allotment) and (b) the per-plan concurrent-job ceiling. The REST API itself returns 429 with Retry-After when abused.

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

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring concurrent_jobs, credits/month, and requests.

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

Tagged areas include DevOps, CI/CD, Build, Open Source, and Hosted.
