Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@dragnot, we couldn't start this review because you've reached your PR review rate limit.

More reviews will be available in 57 minutes and 2 seconds. Learn how PR review limits work.

Your organization has used up its prepaid credits, and credit purchases are no longer available. Enable the review add-on in the billing tab to keep reviews running — you're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

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 credits.

🚦 How do rate 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.

Please see our Fair Usage Limits Policy for further information.

Where stopped instances say their goodbyes,
Fourteen days to wake from sleep,
Then snapshots linger, memories to keep,
The docs are tidy, the terms are clear! 🐇✨

FalkorDB startup tier stopped instance removal policy 14 days

💡 Result:

FalkorDB has been actively developing a policy to address the management of stopped production (PROD) instances, specifically to prevent incurring storage costs for inactive resources [1]. As of June 2026, work is underway to implement a policy where instances that remain in a stopped state for 14 days will be automatically deleted [1]. Key details regarding this initiative include: * Policy Objective: The policy aims to remove stopped production instances that are no longer in use, as the platform retains their storage volumes and currently does not charge customers for this inactive storage [1]. * Implementation Status: As of mid-June 2026, the implementation of this automated deletion job is pending a fix from the underlying infrastructure provider (Omnistrate) [1]. * Data Preservation: The proposed plan includes storing snapshots of these deleted instances for an additional 30 days to allow for potential data recovery if required [1]. * Comparison with Free Tier: This differs from the existing policy for the Free Tier, where instances that are not utilized for 1 day are stopped and then automatically deleted after 7 days of inactivity [2]. For users of the Startup or other production tiers, it is advised to monitor official announcements or documentation updates regarding the final activation of this 14-day deletion job [1].

Correct snapshot retention period from 14 days to 30 days.

Line 60 contains an inaccuracy. The snapshot retention policy specifies 30 days for snapshot retention after instance removal, not 14 days. Update to: "Once an instance is removed we keep a snapshot for an additional 30 days."

The 14-day removal period for stopped instances (line 57) is accurate and aligns with current policy.

Will be removed after 14 days. Before removal, a snapshot will be taken containing it's data, allowing it to be restored for the next 14 days.

Snapshots in general, not just the ones taken before deletion.

Reword Stopped Instances to note a snapshot is taken before removal and
is restorable for 14 days. Replace the snapshot section with the backup
policy, mirroring the structure used on the Pro and Enterprise pages.

@dudizimber mirrored your Pro/Enterprise feedback here for consistency:

  • Stopped Instances now says a snapshot is taken before removal and is restorable for 14 days.
  • Replaced the snapshot section with Backups.

⚠️ You did not specify Startup backup numbers, so I inferred every 12h retained for 7 days (same as Pro). Please confirm or correct. This also overrides CodeRabbit's suggestion of a 30 day snapshot, per the 14 day policy you gave. FYI @MuhammadQadora

New section:
Snapshots:
Snapshots are automatically deleted after 14 days.

backups every 12h retention 7 days

Add a Snapshots section clarifying that all snapshots are automatically
deleted after 14 days, including the one taken before a stopped instance
is removed. Mirrors the Pro and Enterprise tiers for consistency.

@dudizimber added the Snapshots section here too for consistency with Pro and Enterprise, worded to make clear it covers all snapshots:

All snapshots are automatically deleted after 14 days. This applies to every snapshot, including the one taken before a stopped instance is removed.

Please approve and resolve your threads so we can merge to main. FYI @MuhammadQadora
