ci(renovate): stop the hourly limit starving grouped updates - #682
Merged
Conversation
Renovate scans this repository roughly once a day, so exactly one scan falls inside the `before 06:00 on monday` window. With `prHourlyLimit: 2` that single scan opened two pull requests and pushed everything else to the dashboard's Rate-Limited section, where it waited a full week for a window it would lose again. Monday's run is the worked example: it opened #679 (mcp-bom 2.0.1) and #680 (archunit-junit5 1.5.0), then rate-limited protobuf-java 4.36.0 and the whole `github actions (major)` group — six action bumps that have now been detected for days without ever reaching review. Setting the hourly limit to 0 turns it off and leaves `prConcurrentLimit: 5` as the only ceiling, which is the limit that actually expresses the intent: at most five Renovate pull requests open at a time.
