GitStream Soft Limits for Free Accounts

To enhance platform performance and optimize resource allocation, GitStream applies a soft limit of 250 pull requests (PRs) per month per organization for free accounts. This measure ensures a balanced experience for all users while maintaining the efficiency of GitStream’s automation capabilities.

How GitStream Soft Limits Work

• Free-tier organizations operate with a monthly cap of 250 PRs.
• Once this limit is reached, GitStream automatically posts a comment on each new PR, notifying users about the threshold.
• This limitation is software-based only—automations remain unaffected. Future enforcement may be introduced if necessary, ensuring minimal disruption to real users.

Why Implement Soft Limits?

• Optimized Resource Usage – Managing high-volume free-tier usage helps maintain system performance and efficiency.
• Clearer Product Structure – GitStream is positioned as a core part of LinearB’s premium offering, distinguishing between free and paid tiers.

What Happens When the Limit is Reached?

Once an organization exceeds 250 PRs per month, GitStream:

• Posts an automatic notification comment on each new PR.
• Continues running automations without restriction.
• Allows users to explore LinearB’s premium plans for expanded GitStream capabilities.
