Hi guys:

 I set up pipelines in Concourse CI, to build our Android application, some jobs including build, code lint, unit test, but i always got some error

Log as below:

xxxx.pom is belong with my other Bitbucket repository.

Do you have any idea to fixed it?

The response code 429 means that you sent too many requests to Bitbucket Cloud in a short time window, therefore "rate limiting" activated itself and started to reject further requests.

You should identify what generates the requests and "reduce them". 

See: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/api-request-limits/

Thanks, that's very helpful for me, but i have other question, how to increase the limited request when i using authenticated requests? 

[Aron Gombas _Midori_]

You cannot lift rate limits. Those are defined by Atlassian.

What you can do is sending less requests (by batching multiple operations into one if possible) or the same number of request, but over a longer period.
