Rankings scraping needs to be much slower and less frequent
There are now a lot of rankings scrapers. They can be very slow and infrequent as the rankings don't change that often, particularly when it comes to the specialised rankings.
The 17.0 major release is coming on May 16, 2024! This version brings many exciting improvements to GitLab, but also removes some deprecated features. We are introducing three breaking change windows during which we expect breaking changes to be deployed to GitLab.com. You can read more about it on our blogpost. The first breaking change window begins 2024-04-22 09:00UTC and ends 2024-04-24 22:00UTC.
