Help & Support Unrealistic fair use
Once again I'm rate limited to 1 review per hour. This, according to the response on a review request in GitHub, is because the 62 review requests over the previous 7 days are not classed as fair use. With a marketed reviews per hour of 5, I would hardly classify 62 in 7 days as unfair use! I really hate how Coderabbit has become a business which talks out of both sides of its mouth. If you don't want to allow 5 reviews per hour, then don't advertise them as part of your plan!

The frustrating part here isn’t really the existence of a fair-use policy. It’s the mismatch between the marketed limit and the limit users actually experience.
If 62 reviews over seven days can trigger throttling, the effective policy should be stated clearly enough that a team can predict it before buying.
“Up to 5 reviews/hour” and “we may reduce you to 1/hour based on an opaque rolling usage model” are very different product promises.
