# Rate limits on issue creation
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/28129) in GitLab 12.10.
|
|
|
|
This setting allows you to rate limit the requests to the issue creation endpoint.
|
|
It defaults to 300 requests per minute.
|
|
You can change it in **Admin Area > Settings > Network > Performance Optimization**.
|
|
|
|
For example, requests using the
|
|
[Projects::IssuesController#create](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/raw/master/app/controllers/projects/issues_controller.rb)
|
|
action exceeding a rate of 300 per minute are blocked. Access to the endpoint is allowed after one minute.

|
|
|
|
This limit is:
|
|
|
|
- Applied independently per project and per user.
|
|
- Not applied per IP address.
|
|
- Active by default. To disable it, set the option to `0`.
|
|
|
|
Requests over the rate limit are logged into the `auth.log` file.
