Bitbucket Pipelines Rate Limits
Bitbucket Cloud applies hourly rate limits per app/installation/user and per IP, with a 1-hour sliding window. Pipelines also enforces concurrency caps (parallel-step limits) and a per-step build-time cap. The 1-hour API quota is observable through the X-RateLimit-* response headers and 429 carries a Retry-After hint.

Backoff Strategy
Honor Retry-After on 429; use exponential backoff with jitter.
Auth Recommendation
Use OAuth 2.0 / workspace access tokens / app passwords; avoid IP-based unauth calls.
