Rate limitations for unauthorized users of the Projects List API

Starting in May, GitLab will implement rate limitations on the Projects List API for unauthenticated users, affecting GitLab.com from May 8 and self-managed GitLab from May 22, to maintain platform stability and reliability. The Projects List API, utilized by researchers, developers, and integrators, provides metadata about GitLab projects, and due to increased requests from anonymous users, the platform has experienced performance issues. The rate limit for unauthenticated users is set at 400 requests per 10 minutes per IP address on GitLab.com, with a "429 Too Many Requests" response for excess usage, while self-managed instances have customizable limits. Acknowledging potential inconvenience, GitLab suggests users requiring more frequent access create an account for higher limits and additional benefits.
