I'm fetching some information concurrently for multiple different BitBucket Teams at the same time. Sometimes I get connection timeouts. What does the concurrent connections throttling look like? Is it only based on my IP?
Hello Michal,
This is a great question about Bitbucket rate limiting. Here is how rate limiting with BItbucket cloud is currently configured:
Tracking the number of calls is measured based upon if they are authenticated or unauthenticated calls as follows:
Rate limits are divided into one-hour windows for both authenticated and unauthenticated requests.
Request limits types with limits
Git web (HTTPS://) requests => 60,000 requests per hour
hg web (HTTPS://) requests => 30,000 hgweb requests per hour
SSH requests (all SSH requests are rate limited) => 30,000 SSH requests per hour
Access to raw files
Raw file requests: the number of times a file is actively downloaded, including files in the download section of the site. => 5,000 raw file requests per hour
This is not a limit on actions such as:
Archive files: .zip, .gz, and other compressed archives of your repository. => 5,000 files per hour
List a user or team's repositories (/2.0/repositories/{username}) => 1,000 per hour
List all repositories on Bitbucket (/2.0/repositories) => 1,000 per hour
List a repository's commits (/2.0/repositories/{username}/{slug}/commits) => 1,000 per hour
Source documentation Rate limits
I hope this clarifies the rate limits within Bitbucket cloud.

Yes, thank you, the server will return a 429 when it's rate limiting me. However it will also cause a connection to timeout sometimes. I suspect that happens when I try to establish too many connections concurrently. What's the concurrent connection limit?
If you’re under your limits on the rate limits, then you should be able to connect without issue. However, some types of connections may take longer than 60 seconds causing a response of 429.
With this said, why type of action is being performed which is resulting in a response of 429?
Don't you mean a 555? Yes, I'm also getting 555's on the `diffstat` API endpoint. I'm getting 429 when I send too many requests and go over the rate limit - that's fine.
Thank you for your reply, if you don't limit incoming connections on the firewall then that eliminates a variable for me and I must look for the reason of my timeouts elsewhere.
Could you help me with these issues as well? I got no reply, and currently I'm just ignoring the PRs that cause these errors, which might not be ideal for my users:
https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/17740/undocumented-404-to-20-repositories
https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/17738/undocumented-403-to-20-repositories
When cloning larger repos (10's of GB) the download will often pause and slow down, this is especially true if I am doing this multiple times in a short interval.... could this be a case of rate limiting?
