This has resulted in an increased load on our servers, which has impacted the performance and stability of our platform for all users. To address this issue, we have decided to introduce rate limitations for all users.\n\nIn the coming months, we will introduce rate limitations to the Projects,\nGroups and Users API according to the following schedule:\n\n__Groups and Projects API__\n\n- Brownouts\n  - Feb 4, 2025: For 12 hours starting at 12:00 UTC\n  - Mar 4, 2025: For 24 hours starting at 12:00 UTC\n- Permanent rollout\n  - Apr 2, 2025 at 12:00 UTC\n\n__Users API__\n\n- Brownouts\n  - Feb 24, 2025: For 12 hours starting at 15:00 UTC\n  - Feb 27, 2025: For 24 hours starting at 15:00 UTC\n- Permanent rollout\n  - Mar 3, 2025 at 12:00 UTC\n\nTo protect our Dedicated and Self-managed customers from unexpected changes, we're implementing a careful rollout strategy for our new API rate limitations. We'll be using a feature flag that allows us to apply these limits exclusively to GitLab.com while keeping them disabled by default for\nSelf-managed and Dedicated instances.\n\nWhen upgrading to 18.0, these rate limits will be set to zero and the feature flag will be disabled by default, ensuring no disruption to your current workflows. This approach gives administrators complete control - you can choose to enable these limits at your convenience by toggling the feature flag and setting the appropriate rate limits for your installation.\n\nIn GitLab 18.1, the feature flag will be removed. It means the rate limits you've defined before that (unlimited by default) will automatically be used, even if you didn't enable the feature flag.\n\nFrom GitLab 18.3, new installations will have the default rate limits (see \"Rate limitation details\" below) applied.\n\n## What are the Projects, Groups, and Users APIs?\n\nThe Projects and Groups APIs provide information about GitLab projects and groups, including name, description, and other metadata. The Users API provides information about GitLab users. These APIs are widely used by our community, including researchers, developers, and integrators, to retrieve and analyze information about GitLab projects, groups and users. We value this usage and aim to support it as much as possible.\n\n## Rate limitation details\n\nAll users of the Projects, Groups, and Users APIs will be rate-limited. The limits per endpoint are as follows:\n\n| Endpoint    | Rate limit per user or IP     |\n| ---------- | ---------- |\n|GET /api/v4/users/:id/followers | 100 requests per minute |\n|GET /api/v4/users/:id/following | 100 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/users/:user_id/status | 240 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/users/:user_id/keys | 120 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/users/:id/keys/:key_id | 120 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/users/:id/gpg_keys | 120 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/users/:id/gpg_keys/:key_id | 120 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/users/:user_id/projects | 300 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/users/:user_id/contributed_projects | 100 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/users/:user_id/starred_projects | 100 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/projects | 2000 requests per 10 minutes |\n| GET /api/v4/groups/:id/projects | 600 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/projects/:id | 400 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/groups | 200 requests per minute |\n| GET /api/v4/groups/:id | 400 requests per minute |\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C/p>\n\nWe rate-limit based on user for authenticated requests and based on IP for unauthenticated requests. We use the same value for both IP and user. The stated limits have been selected based on average usage patterns and should provide sufficient headroom for most use cases.\n\nIf a user exceeds this limit, the user will receive a \"429 Too Many\nRequests\" response. On GitLab.com, this limit cannot be changed. Users of\nGitLab Self-managed instances have the same rate limitation set by default, but admins can change the rate limits as they see fit via the UI or the application settings API. They can also set the rate limit to zero, which acts as if there is no rate limitation at all.\n\nWe understand that this change may impact some of our users who rely on the\nProjects, Groups, and Users APIs, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns about this change, please leave feedback in [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/458904).\n\n#### Note\n\nThis post has been updated recently. These are the changes that were made:\n\n* Added detailed rollout strategy for Self-managed/Dedicated: Introduces a\nphased implementation with feature flags that initially apply limits only to\nGitLab.com, with zero rate limits by default for Self-managed/Dedicated in\nGitLab 18.0.\n\n* Clarified version timeline: Added specifics about feature flag removal in\nGitLab 18.1 and default rate limits for new installations starting in 18.3.",[18],"Christina Lohr","2025-04-30","2024-05-14","Rate limitations announced for Projects, Groups, and Users APIs",[23,24],"DevSecOps

convenient way to access your account. You can use passkeys for passwordless sign-in or as a phishing-resistant two-factor authentication (2FA) method. Passkeys offer the ability to authenticate using your device's fingerprint, face recognition, or PIN. For accounts with 2FA enabled, passkeys automatically become available as your default 2FA method.\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"video_container\"> \u003Ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/LN5MGRdTHR8?si=OOebJZzN3LkSmzNv\" title=\"Passwordless authentication using passkeys\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\">\u003C/iframe> \u003C/figure>\n\n\u003Cbr>\u003C/br>\n\nTo register a passkey to your account, go to your profile settings and select **Account > Manage authentication**.\n\nPasskeys use WebAuthn technology and public-key cryptography made up of both a private and public key. Your private key stays securely on your device and never leaves, while your public key is stored on GitLab. Even if GitLab were to become compromised, attackers cannot use your stored credentials to access your account. Passkeys work across desktop browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge), mobile devices (iOS 16+, Android 9+), and FIDO2 hardware security keys, allowing you to register multiple passkeys across your devices for convenient access.\n\n![Passkeys sign-in with two-factor authentication](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1767807931/n652nkgvna1rsymlfzpi.png)\n\nGitLab signed the [CISA Secure by Design Pledge](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/last-year-we-signed-the-secure-by-design-pledge-heres-our-progress/), committing to improve our security posture and help customers develop secure software faster. One key objective of the pledge is to  increase the use of  [multi-factor authentication (MFA)](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/last-year-we-signed-the-secure-by-design-pledge-heres-our-progress/#multi-factor-authentication-mfa) across the manufacturer’s products. Passkeys are an integral part of this goal, and provide a seamless, phishing-resistant MFA method that makes signing in to GitLab both more secure and more convenient.\n\nIf you have questions, want to share your experience, or would like to engage directly with our team about potential improvements, see the [feedback issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/366758).\n",[714,24],"security",{"featured":12,"template":13,"slug":716},"passkeys-now-available-for-passwordless-sign-in-and-2fa-on-gitlab",{"content":718,"config":727},{"title":719,"description":720,"heroImage":721,"authors":722,"date":724,"body":725,"category":9,"tags":726},"GPG key used to sign GitLab package repositories' metadata has been extended","The GPG key used to sign repository metadata on GitLab's Packagecloud instance at packages.gitlab.com has been extended – here's what you need to know.","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1771934335/c4f7zzdelhwcihaqwxym.png",[723],"Denis Afonso","2026-02-24","GitLab uses GPG key to sign the metadata of the various apt and yum repositories that are used to distribute official omnibus-gitlab and gitlab-runner packages, to ensure integrity of packages, in addition to the packages themselves being signed by a separate key.\n\nThe current key used for the metadata signing, with the fingerprint `F640 3F65 44A3 8863 DAA0 B6E0 3F01 618A 5131 2F3F`, is set to expire on Feb. 27, 2026, and has been extended to expire on Feb 6, 2028.\n\n## Why are we extending the deadline?\n\nThe repository metadata signing key's expiration is extended periodically to comply with GitLab security policies and to limit the exposure should the key become compromised.
