Summary

When the GitHub App installation lacks the required permissions (e.g., contents:read or pull_requests:write), the import API returned a generic error without explanation. This made it difficult for users to understand why their import failed.

Fix

Added specific error handling in app/api/integrations/github/import/route.ts:

  • When GitHub returns a 403 response, check if it is a permissions error by examining the response body for permission-related messages, and return a clear actionable error: "GitHub App does not have required permissions. Please reinstall the GitVerse GitHub App and grant all requested permissions."
  • For 404 responses, return: "GitHub App installation not found. Please reinstall the GitVerse GitHub App."

Changes

  • app/api/integrations/github/import/route.ts: Added isAxiosError import and specific 403/404 error handling with clear messages

Warning

Review limit reached

@tmdeveloper007, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 11 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

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 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.

Please refer docs for additional details.
