Excessive Use
Please note that individuals (even organizations) using the community repository are unlikely to hit excessive use numbers under normal usage scenarios.
NOTE: If you do find you have been blocked / rate-limited, having commercial licenses will not have any effect the policies with the community package repository. These policies were put into place to ensure stability and availability for the entire community, not to try to get folks to pay for licensing.
See rate limiting below if you are seeing 429 errors (too many requests).
Another aspect to keep in mind is that the community package repository is meant for the community. Perceived abuses of the community package repository that affect it in a detrimental way for the rest of the community will not be allowed. By abusive, it may mean more than 100 installs per hour on average over an internally determined amount of time (it could be more, could be less) - this is not queries, this is installs, upgrades where actual package downloads are occurring. Let's say that is 30 days - that would mean 72,000+ package downloads over 30 days. When that is seen, our community team will make attempts to warn folks if we have known contacts (keep in mind it's highly unlikely we will have your contact information), and implement a temporary block to ensure your usage does not affect the community in a detrimental way. Many times this is due to a misconfiguration and can be corrected quickly.
Blocks are meant to be temporary bans, but require you to act to remedy the situation. If you have been blocked, please see the next sections for corrective actions.
NOTE If you or your organization feels you will need to go over this limit with good reason and need whitelisted, please reach out at https://chocolatey.org/contact, choose "Blocked IP Address". As we have limited information, please include your name, email address, phone number, and the IP addresses you believe are blocked so we can contact you and verify if there is a ban. Once you have resolved any issues on your side, we can lift the ban.
which I believe is on the high side for them but this should not be a concern with client locations with only a handful of agents. The problem will be with client locations with lots of agents all making requests and adding to the count. Compound that daily and you could see several thousand requests a week going out even to just to check version availability.72,000+ package downloads over 30 days
