[Bug] Ultrareview quota consumed on server-side rate limit failures
Bug Description
This is a critical bug report regarding the Ultrareview feature.
I attempted to run /ultrareview twice on the same PR, and both attempts failed before producing any result. Despite this, both runs were still counted against my free quota.
Details:
- PR size: ~250 files changed (679 insertions, 518 deletions)
- Both runs started normally and executed in the cloud
- Both failed with:
“API Error: Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage limit) · Rate limited”
- No review output was generated in either case
This is clearly a server-side failure (rate limiting / pipeline issue), not caused by my usage. However, the system still deducted my quota as if the runs succeeded.
As a result:
- 2 out of 3 free attempts were wasted
- I am left with only 1 attempt, which I cannot safely use given the repeated failure
- My workflow has been disrupted without any benefit
This behavior is unacceptable. Failed executions must not consume user quota.
I expect:
- Immediate restoration of the 2 consumed Ultrareview attempts
- A fix so that failed runs (especially due to server errors) do not count against quota
- Clear guidance on any limitations (PR size, rate limits, etc.)
Right now, this makes the feature unreliable and effectively unusable.
Please investigate this urgently and provide a resolution.
