Jira Bulk Fetch now returns up to 1,000 issues in a single call (10× boost!)

[#1]

Big news for anyone building apps or integrations on Jira Cloud!

The POST/rest/api/{version}/issue/bulkfetch endpoint can now return up to 1,000 issues per call — up from 100. That's a 10× increase in throughput per request.

Why it matters:

• ⚡ Better performance — one round trip instead of ten; reports and syncs finish faster
• 💰 Lower cost — fewer requests to make, retry, and orchestrate
• 📊 More rate-limit headroom — 10× less pressure on your per-tenant budget

How to qualify for the higher limit — your request must:

• Explicitly name at least one field in fields (no wildcards like *all/*navigable, no exclusion-only requests)
• Include no more than 100 fields
• Use no list-type fields (attachment, comment, worklog)
• Use no heavy expand values (changelog, renderedFields, transitions)

Requests that don't meet all of these stay capped at 100. The response shape is unchanged, so partial success works exactly as before.
