Increase Fastly API limit for about.gitlab.com
The name of this alert: Increase Fastly API limit for about.gitlab.com
(If this is an incident, please use the incident template)
**Problem description goes here**
We use Fastly API for applying redirects to website pages. After each merge, we upload redirects to a Fastly dictionary. But recently we reached the limit of 1000 items per dictionary. According to the documentation page, we can request Fastly to raise the limit (see https://docs.fastly.com/en/guides/resource-limits#vcl-and-configuration-limits, Edge dictionary items count). Can we contact them to raise the limit to 3000 items? Please let me know if you need any additional information.
Google Search Console has identified URLs with redirect loops resulting in ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS messages or 404 errors pages due to the API limit being reached.
