Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

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 reviews.

How do review 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 refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

AddLinkBox now validates edited URLs, displays accessible inline errors, disables submission for invalid required fields, and shows a loading indicator while submitting.

Changes

Link form validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
URL validation feedback app/dashboard/AddLinkBox.tsx	The component tracks URL validation errors. Non-empty URL input is validated, blank input clears errors, and invalid input renders an accessible inline message.
Submission controls app/dashboard/AddLinkBox.tsx	The Add Link button requires a trimmed URL and selected platform. The button exposes submission state with aria-busy and an animated loading indicator.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 24d23

The change prevents empty-link submissions, and the only remaining issue is a minor stale validation message after canceling; it does not create a merge-blocking correctness or data risk, so the PR is merge-ready after normal review.
