scripts/rabbit

Auto-retrigger CodeRabbit reviews on PRs whose rate-limit window has elapsed.

CodeRabbit (Pro) reviews 5 PRs/hr per developer. When you push a flurry of commits across several PRs, CR posts a "Rate limit exceeded — please wait N minutes" comment instead of reviewing. Once the wait elapses you have to manually comment @coderabbitai review on each PR. This script does that pass for you.

Usage

pnpm rabbit                # default: scan + retrigger up to 5 PRs
pnpm rabbit list           # report-only; no comments posted
pnpm rabbit run --dry-run  # show what would be retriggered
pnpm rabbit run --max 3    # cap retriggers this run
pnpm rabbit run --pr 1409  # one PR only
pnpm rabbit run --grace 60 # wait 60s past CR's stated time before retriggering

Pair with /loop to drain a backlog automatically:

/loop 15m pnpm rabbit run --max 5

How it works

For each open PR:

Pull issues/<pr>/comments, find CodeRabbit's latest comment.
If it carries the marker , parse the stated wait (Please wait **46 seconds**…).
Skip if CR has posted a non-rate-limit comment since (it recovered) or if anyone has already commented @coderabbitai review after the rate-limit notice (in flight).
If created_at + wait + grace is in the past, post @coderabbitai review.
