Response code 429 (Too Many Requests) with Renovate scans

chris_flynn April 4, 2024

We use a Self-hosted Renovate to scan our Bitbucket Cloud repositories for dependency updates. It had been working fine for a while, but lately we have been getting constant "429 - too many requests" errors. These have made the scans completely useless. How can I figure out why this problem has started to occur suddenly?

G'day, @chris_flynn 

The error 429 (Too Many Requests) occurs because your account exceeds the rate limits. My observation suggests that your scan makes over 1,000 API requests per hour, exceeding the limit. You can refer to our Rate-limit page to understand how we calculate the rate-limit.

Hi @Syahrul

Thank you very much for your response and help. I will open a ticket to find out more details about our requests, because I don't see how it is possible that we are hitting that limit. As soon as I start the Renovate scan I get the error message and there shouldn't be anything else making requests to the Bitbucket API on our account.
