⌛ 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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Dependabot ignore rule to skip Weblate* dependency updates under the uv ecosystem. Refactors the weblate-pin-bump workflow to add issues: write permission, detect pre-existing remote branches and open PRs before acting, introduce ensure_labels and create_pr helper functions, and handle push failures with a fallback PR creation path.

Changes

Weblate bump workflow and Dependabot fixes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dependabot ignore rule for Weblate* .github/dependabot.yml	Adds an ignore entry matching Weblate* under the uv package ecosystem so Dependabot skips those dependency updates.
Workflow permissions and pre-flight state detection .github/workflows/weblate-pin-bump.yml	Adds issues: write permission and introduces gh pr list and git ls-remote checks to determine whether an open PR or remote branch already exists before any branch or push operations.
PR creation helpers, branch force-update, and push fallback .github/workflows/weblate-pin-bump.yml	Introduces ensure_labels and create_pr helper functions, force-updates the branch with git checkout -B, stages only the bump files, conditionally commits when staged changes exist, and falls back to fetching the remote head and opening a PR if git push fails.

Poem

🐇 Hoppity-hop through the workflow maze,
Where orphan branches once caused a haze,
Now labels are checked and push failures caught,
And Weblate* ignores are carefully wrought.
No more failed bumps to ruin the day —
This bunny has patched all the problems away! 🎉

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/weblate-pin-bump.yml:
- Around line 106-110: The existing-remote-branch path in the workflow only
calls create_pr for an already-published branch, so it never repairs the stale
or orphaned branch state. Update the remote_exists handling and the later
branch-reuse path so the script first refreshes or reconciles the remote branch
contents/state before creating the PR, using the existing branch-related logic
around remote_exists, branch, and create_pr to keep the remote history
consistent.
