code_scanning_upload field removed from rate limit API

As of May 19, 2026, we have removed the code_scanning_upload field from the rate limit REST API endpoint response.

What changed

The code_scanning_upload field no longer appears in the resources object of the rate_limit API response. This field was removed because it displayed a separate rate limit category that was actually joined with the core limit pool, causing confusion about actual rate limit status.

Rate limits for code scanning uploads continue to be governed by the standard core rate limit.

If your integrations are affected

If you have scripts or tools that parse the /rate_limit endpoint and reference code_scanning_upload, update them to remove that reference. No alternative field replacement is needed—use the core rate limit values instead.
