Next review available in: 59 minutes You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository. How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

GitHub CODEOWNERS requests reviews from matching owners does not guarantee review
💡 Result:
The presence of a CODEOWNERS file in a repository does not automatically guarantee that code owners must review or approve pull requests. By default, the CODEOWNERS feature simply automates the process of requesting reviews from the designated users or teams when a pull request modifies the files they own [1][2][3]. To enforce reviews from code owners, repository administrators must explicitly configure branch protection rules [1][3]. The behavior of this feature is as follows: 1. Automatic Requests: When a pull request is opened, GitHub automatically requests reviews from the specified code owners for the files changed [1][2]. This is a notification mechanism and does not block merging on its own [3]. 2. Enforcement through Branch Protection: If a repository is set up with a branch protection rule that includes "Require review from Code Owners," the merge process is blocked until at least one of the designated code owners for every changed file has approved the pull request [1][3]. 3. Approval Sufficiency: When branch protection is enabled, an approval from any one of the defined code owners for a specific file pattern is sufficient to satisfy the requirement [1][4]. It does not require approval from all listed owners [1]. Because the CODEOWNERS file is advisory by default, teams that rely on it for compliance or security without enabling the corresponding branch protection rule will find that pull requests can be merged without any code owner reviews [3]. Even with the rule enabled, a pull request can still be merged if other reviewers approve, provided that at least one valid code owner also approves [3].

Avoid implying CODEOWNERS guarantees review or approval.
The contribution guidelines already say CODEOWNERS requests reviews from matching owners, so these lines should stop there or clarify that enforcement requires branch protection. As written, GitHub does not automatically assign reviewers, and the CODEOWNERS file alone can be treated as advisory when branch protection rules are not enabled.
