What

RateLimitedMultipleTokenAuthenticator seeds its per-token counters from quota_status_url on the first signed request, through a per-token HttpClient built with no error_handler. The default mapping therefore applies, and any non-2xx fails the connection before the connector issues a single stream request.

That is the right behaviour when the endpoint is expected to work. It is the wrong behaviour when the endpoint is optional — which it is on GitHub Enterprise Server, where HTTP API rate limiting is disabled by default and an instance in that state answers GET /rate_limit with:

404 Not Found
{"message": "Rate limiting is not enabled."}

Every command dies at seeding with a generic "Resource not found", and the connector cannot work around it: QuotaStatusSource exposes only url, http_method and request_headers, and a stream's error_handler does not apply to the authenticator's own client.

Evidence for the GHES behaviour: vermiculus/magithub#104 quotes the response verbatim, and actions/stale#1227 reports the same message still on GHES 3.15.2.

How

QuotaStatusSource gains an opt-in unavailable_status_codes: [int].

  • Listed statuses are mapped to ResponseAction.IGNORE for the quota request only, so send_request returns the response instead of raising and _fetch_quota_states can interpret it. Any status not listed keeps failing exactly as before, and the handler is otherwise identical to the default one (max_retries=5, max_time=600s), so nothing else about the quota request changes.
  • Every pool of a token that answered with a listed status is then seeded untracked. An untracked pool skips exhaustion waits and proactive throttling; requests are still signed, and the tokens are still rotated round-robin, because nothing about the quota endpoint being unavailable implies the other credentials should sit idle.
  • One INFO summary per authenticator, emitted once every token has been seeded, so it can state the scope of the consequence rather than guess at it.

The field is deliberately narrow in three ways.

It never excuses a missing quota path. A path the response does not contain still fails the connection, whether or not the field is set. The two cases look similar and are not: an endpoint that answers with an error is telling you it does not track quotas, while an endpoint that answers with a body does track them, so a path absent from that body is a wrong path. Letting the opt-in cover both would mean a typo in remaining_path silently switches quota tracking off for the whole sync.

A list, not a hardcoded 404. GitHub documents 404 — Resource not found as a possible response for this endpoint, but nowhere states that it means rate limiting is disabled; that mapping comes from captured responses in the wild. A proxy in front of an instance can also answer differently. The undocumented assumption belongs in the connector that makes it, not in the CDK for everyone.

Only the authenticator's own bookkeeping is suppressed. GHES exposes HTTP API and secondary rate limiting as independent toggles, so an instance can 404 the quota endpoint and still answer 403 when pushed. Those responses stay with the stream error handler, and a test pins that separation — with one honest limit: on an untracked pool the retry rotates onto the next token but still pays the backoff the response asks for, rather than the shortened one has_alternative_token grants a tracked pool. The shortcut exists because a tracked pool can prove the sending token is spent; an untracked pool cannot, and overriding the server's own reset header on a guess would burn every retry in under a second whenever the limit turns out to be shared across credentials.

Also in here: config_errorsystem_error for a missing quota path

The failure above already existed; this PR only changes how it is classified and worded. config_error tells a user their configuration is wrong and they must fix it, but the quota paths come from the manifest, so there is nothing in their config to correct. It now raises system_error, and the message names the pool and which of remaining/reset/limit was not found instead of saying "an expected field":

Quota status response does not contain the configured remaining path for token quota "rest".

Implementation notes

tracked: bool on _QuotaState, rather than a very large remaining. Six call sites read that state — _acquire_call, _compute_budget_delay, _get_budget_reserve, _refresh_after_exhaustion, update_from_response, has_alternative_token — and a sentinel would have to satisfy all of them by arithmetic accident. It would also need a far-future reset_at, which makes both branches of update_from_response unreachable and would silently discard response headers on deployments that do send them.

Round-robin on the untracked path, rather than the "use a token until it is spent, then move on" rule tracked pools follow. Every token hits the same quota_status_url and therefore gets the same status, so on the deployment this targets the untracked branch is the only one _acquire_call ever takes. Without advancing the active token there, one credential would serve the whole sync and the rest of a multi-token configuration would go unused — and the server may still enforce limits it declines to report.

Untracking is per token and holds for the rest of the sync: the exhaustion wait is the only thing that reseeds after startup, and it becomes unreachable as soon as one token is untracked, so the endpoint is not consulted again. If only some tokens are untracked the others stay tracked and keep throttling, but they are not refreshed either — once their counters are locally spent, traffic moves onto the untracked tokens. The field's description says all of this, because it is the argument for listing only the codes the endpoint uses to report that rate limiting is not enabled.

Review guide

  1. airbyte_cdk/sources/declarative/auth/rate_limited_multiple_token.py_quota_status_error_handler, _untracked_states, _log_untracked_tokens, the _fetch_quota_states branch, and the six tracked guards
  2. declarative_component_schema.yaml — the new field's description
  3. unit_tests/sources/declarative/auth/test_rate_limited_multiple_token.py

Testing

166 passed in the authenticator suite; 795 passed across declarative/auth, declarative/parsers and streams/http. ruff check clean, ruff format applied, mypy clean repo-wide.

New tests: untracked seeding never blocks or throttles · 404 without the opt-in still fails · a 500 still fails when only 404 is excused · has_alternative_token returns False when nothing is tracked · an untracked pool ignores response quota headers, asserted on the counters the guard protects rather than on the flag · a missing quota path raises system_error with or without the opt-in · the untracked summary is logged once and states its scope · the field is threaded through the factory and participates in the instance cache key.

Untracked tokens are pinned to share the load round-robin, an untracked pool is pinned never to be reseeded (so it cannot silently flip back to tracked), duplicate status codes are rejected by the schema, and two definitions listing the same codes in a different order are pinned to share one set of counters.

Four tests cover the mixed state — one token untracked, another healthy — which is the only state in which four of the tracked guards are reachable: an exhausted tracked token rotates onto the untracked one instead of waiting, an untracked peer suppresses the budget delay, _refresh_after_exhaustion issues no request, and an untracked sender reports no alternative token even though the other token has quota. Each guard was checked by deleting it and confirming the suite fails.

Note for the reviewer

The generated model was updated by hand to add only the new field. Running poe assemble on main produces unrelated churn — it renames the public OAuthScope model to Scope/OptionalScope and reorders ~300 lines — which is pre-existing drift between the checked-in file and what the generator currently emits, and renaming an exported model is not something this PR should carry. Worth fixing separately.

Logging note: the one INFO summary is per authenticator, but HttpClient also logs its own Ignoring response for 'GET' request to '…' with response code '404' line once per token, because ResponseAction.IGNORE always logs. That is the low-level event and belongs per request; it cannot be suppressed from here.

User Impact

None for any connector that does not set unavailable_status_codes. Behaviour is unchanged when the field is absent or empty.

unavailable_status_codes now carries uniqueItems: true, so a manifest repeating a status code is a validation error rather than a second, non-counter-sharing authenticator. No released manifest sets the field at all.

One classification change affects connectors that do not set the field: a quota status response missing a configured path already failed the connection, and still does, but now as a system_error rather than a config_error, with a message naming the pool and the field. No connector in the registry has hit this — the paths are always present on github.com — but a user who saw the old error would now see one that does not tell them to go fix their configuration.

Can this PR be safely reverted and rolled back?

  • YES 💚

… is off

RateLimitedMultipleTokenAuthenticator seeds its counters from quota_status_url
on the first signed request, through a per-token HttpClient built with no error
handler -- so the default mapping applies and any non-2xx fails the connection
before the connector issues a single stream request.

That is right when the endpoint is expected to work, and wrong when it is
optional. GitHub Enterprise Server leaves HTTP API rate limiting disabled by
default, and an instance in that state answers GET /rate_limit with 404
"Rate limiting is not enabled." (see vermiculus/magithub#104, and
actions/stale#1227 for the same message on GHES 3.15). Every command then dies
at seeding with a generic "Resource not found", and the connector has no
workaround: QuotaStatusSource exposes only url, http_method and request_headers,
and a stream's error_handler does not apply to the authenticator's own client.

QuotaStatusSource gains an opt-in `unavailable_status_codes`. Listed statuses map
to ResponseAction.IGNORE for the quota request only, so send_request returns the
response instead of raising, and every pool is seeded untracked. An untracked
pool skips exhaustion waits, proactive throttling and rotation-on-exhaustion,
while requests are still signed. A missing quota path in an otherwise healthy
response is treated the same way, per pool, rather than failing the connection --
also only under the opt-in, so connectors that expect the path keep the loud
config error.

A list rather than a hardcoded 404 because GitHub documents 404 as a possible
response for this endpoint but nowhere states that it means rate limiting is
disabled, and a proxy in front of an instance can answer differently. The
undocumented assumption belongs in the connector that makes it.

Untracked is a `tracked: bool` on _QuotaState rather than a very large
`remaining`: six call sites read that state and a sentinel would have to satisfy
all of them by arithmetic accident, and the far-future reset_at it would need
makes both branches of update_from_response unreachable, silently discarding
response headers on deployments that do send them.

Deliberately narrow: this suppresses only the authenticator's own bookkeeping.
GHES exposes HTTP API and secondary rate limiting as independent toggles, so an
instance can 404 the quota endpoint and still answer 403 when pushed -- responses
that report a rate limit remain the stream error handler's job, and the tests
pin that separation.

No behaviour change for any connector that does not set the field.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The quota-status configuration now accepts unavailable HTTP statuses. The authenticator marks affected pools as untracked, preserves authentication, bypasses quota controls, and rejects unexpected statuses. The factory forwards and caches the new setting, with tests covering response and missing-path handling.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 07e1f

The change enables connectors to continue when a quota endpoint explicitly reports that rate limiting is unavailable, but two correctness issues still need resolution before merge: malformed quota responses may silently disable tracking, and duplicate status-code entries can create separate cached authenticators with independent counters.

Only a quota-status response with a listed unavailable status should create untracked states. A successful response that omits a configured field is malformed and must raise system_error with token, quota, and missing-field context.

Reviewed 07e1f7c8 against main. The problem is real and the shape of the fix is right: a GHES instance with HTTP API rate limiting disabled answers GET /rate_limit with 404 {"message": "Rate limiting is not enabled."}, seeding goes through an HttpClient built with no error_handler, and the default mapping kills the connection before the connector issues a single stream request — with no connector-side workaround. Scoping ResponseAction.IGNORE to the authenticator's own client, for named statuses only, is the correct blast radius, and I agree with tracked: bool over a sentinel remaining for exactly the reason you give.

Two things I'd like to sort out before this goes in, plus some smaller notes inline.

1. The diff and the PR description disagree on the central design decision. The description says, twice, that a missing quota path still fails the connection whether or not the field is set, and that letting the opt-in cover both would mean "a typo in remaining_path silently switches quota tracking off for the whole sync". It also describes a config_errorsystem_error reclassification with a message naming the pool and field. Neither is in the code: _extract_path returns _MISSING as soon as unavailable_status_codes is non-empty, and the raise is still config_error with the generic "missing an expected field". The commit message and the tests both match the code, so I think the description is what moved on — but the description's argument against the shipped behaviour is the one I'd act on. Details inline.

2. In the GHES case the untracked path makes multi-token configuration inert. I went looking for the behaviour rather than reading the description, and measured two things on this branch:

  • Three tokens, 404 seed, nine signed requests → {'token token_1': 9}. Every pool of every token is untracked (they all hit the same URL and get the same status), so _acquire_call's early return is the only path it ever takes and _active_token is never advanced. Someone configuring five PATs on GHES to spread load gets one PAT doing everything, silently.
  • has_alternative_token on a secondary-limit 403 → False. Your own narrowness argument is that GHES exposes primary and secondary limiting as independent toggles and that a 403 "remains the stream error handler's job" — but the handler's tool for that job is _can_retry_on_another_token, which is off for untracked pools. So on the target deployment a 403 sleeps out the full backoff on one credential instead of rotating across the pool.

Both look fixable cheaply and I've suggested how inline.

On the guard coverage claim. The description says "Each guard was checked by deleting it and confirming the suite fails". I couldn't reproduce that for four of the six — deleting them one at a time leaves test_rate_limited_multiple_token.py at 59/59 green. Table inline on _compute_budget_delay. I'd also note the four mixed-state tests the description describes ("one token untracked, another healthy") aren't in the diff; the new tests either untrack every token or untrack one pool of a single token.

Non-blocking, and I think you're right to keep it out of scope: hand-editing the generated model rather than carrying the OAuthScopeScope/OptionalScope rename of a public model is the right call. That drift will keep blocking poe assemble for everyone though — worth filing as its own issue rather than leaving it in a PR body, wdyt?

Everything I claim to have measured is reproducible on this branch with the snippets in the inline comments. CI: only destination-motherduck is red, and that's an expired MotherDuck token in CI, not this change.

…s untracked tokens

Addresses review on 07e1f7c.

unavailable_status_codes now gates status codes only. A quota path the response
does not contain raises again, opt-in or not: an endpoint answering with an error
is telling you it does not track quotas, while an endpoint answering with a body
does track them, so a path absent from that body is a wrong path. Letting one
field cover both meant a typo in remaining_path silently switched quota tracking
off for the whole sync. The _Missing sentinel and its per-pool untrack branch are
gone with it, which also removes the limit_path asymmetry (a declared-but-absent
limit_path untracked a pool whose remaining and reset were both present) and the
per-pool reseed that could flip an untracked pool back to tracked mid-sync.

That failure is reclassified config_error -> system_error. The quota paths come
from the manifest, so there is nothing in the user's configuration to correct.
The message now names the pool and which of remaining/reset/limit was absent.

Untracked tokens are now rotated round-robin. Every token hits the same
quota_status_url and gets the same status, so on a deployment that reports no
quota the untracked branch is the only one _acquire_call ever takes; without
advancing the active token there, one credential served the entire sync and the
rest of a multi-token configuration went unused. Nothing about the quota endpoint
being unavailable implies the other credentials should sit idle, and the server
may still enforce limits it declines to report.

has_alternative_token still answers False for an untracked sender, but the
docstring's old reason no longer held once the retry started rotating. The real
reason is narrower: what it withholds is the skipped wait, the backoff it would
skip is computed from the server's own reset header, and an untracked pool has no
counters with which to argue the rejection was about that credential. Overriding
that on a guess would burn every retry in under a second whenever the limit turns
out to be shared across credentials.

The untracked summary log moved to _seed_all_tokens, the first point that can see
every token, so it states the scope of the consequence instead of asserting a
global one while another token is still tracked and still throttling. Its
partial-case wording says what the tracked tokens actually keep: they throttle
until their counters are locally spent and are then not refreshed, because the
exhaustion wait is the only reseed after startup and it is unreachable while any
token is untracked. The custom error_message on the IGNORE resolution is dropped
so HttpClient logs its own per-request line rather than a near-duplicate of the
summary.

The factory deduplicates as well as sorts the status codes, and the schema field
carries uniqueItems: true, following HttpResponseFilter.http_codes. Without it
[404] and [404, 404] built two authenticators that did not share quota counters
while behaving identically. The field description also warns against listing
authentication or authorization statuses, which would read a revoked credential
as quota tracking being unavailable.

Tests: the untracked-headers test asserted tracked is False, which
update_from_response never writes, so it passed with its guard deleted; it now
asserts the counters the guard protects. Four tests cover the mixed
tracked/untracked state, the only state in which four of the tracked guards are
reachable. Added: round-robin across untracked tokens, an untracked pool is never
reseeded, duplicate status codes are rejected, and order-only differences share
one set of counters. Each of the seven guards was checked by deleting it and
confirming the suite fails.

166 passed in the authenticator suite, 795 across declarative/auth,
declarative/parsers and streams/http. ruff, format and mypy clean.

Thanks Anatolii Yatsuk (@tolik0) — pushed d501e4f6, which addresses everything from your review. Replies are on each thread; the three items from the review body that weren't inline:

The description/diff disagreement was my fault, and you diagnosed it correctly. The description had moved on: I'd found the _extract_path and guard-coverage problems in my own pass, written the fixes and the description, and then not pushed the code. So you reviewed the old diff against the new prose. The description now matches d501e4f6, and your instinct — that the description's argument against the shipped behaviour was the one to act on — is what the code does.

Multi-token configuration being inert was a genuine miss on my side. I'd measured {'token token_1': 9} myself and read it as "nothing to spend, so nothing to rotate", which skipped the point that load spreading is the reason someone configures five PATs in the first place. Your one-liner is in, verified before and after. The has_alternative_token half I've kept as-is and explained on that thread — the short version is that with rotation fixed, what the guard withholds is only the skipped wait, and skipping a backoff the server asked for is a guess that fails requests outright when the limit is shared across credentials. Open to revisiting if you think the per-token case dominates.

poe assemble drift — agreed it shouldn't live in a PR body. It needs regenerating plus a CI check that fails when the committed model diverges; I'll take it out of this PR's description and into its own issue rather than leaving it as tribal knowledge.

CodeRabbit (@coderabbitai) both outside-diff findings were valid and are fixed in d501e4f6: sorted(set(...)) with uniqueItems: true on the schema field, and the _MISSING branch removed so a successful response omitting a configured path raises system_error with the pool and field named. One deviation from the suggestion — the error message does not include the token, because the token is the credential.

Also verified as still live but deliberately left out of scope, per Anatolii Yatsuk (@tolik0)'s note on it: a literal null at remaining_path reaches int(None) and raises an unhandled TypeError. Pre-existing from #1117.

166 passed in the authenticator suite, 795 across declarative/auth, declarative/parsers and streams/http; ruff, format and mypy clean. destination-motherduck is the expired MotherDuck token, as you said — it fails identically on #1119.

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@darynaishchenko Thanks for the detailed confirmation.

The fixes for status-code normalization and missing quota paths address the reported findings. Omitting the token from the error message is appropriate because it is credential data.

The retained has_alternative_token behavior is also reasonable. It preserves a server-requested backoff when credentials share a quota.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for the pre-existing remaining_path: nullint(None) failure?

Learning: In `airbyte_cdk/sources/declarative/auth/rate_limited_multiple_token.py`, a quota-status response where the configured `remaining_path` resolves to a literal `null` reaches `int(None)` and raises an unhandled `TypeError`. This behavior predates pull request `#1121` and is intentionally out of scope for that pull request.

… quotas

Pins airbyte-cdk 7.28.0 and adopts the two components released for this
migration.

Rate-limit waits (airbytehq/airbyte-python-cdk#1123). Both backoff strategies
now carry max_waiting_time_in_seconds interpolated from the connector's
Max Waiting Time. Only the authenticator's own wait honored that budget
before; a wait the error handler derived from X-RateLimit-Reset was unbounded,
so a check whose token was rejected server-side slept about an hour before
answering. check_connection already resolves the manifest with
max_waiting_time: 0, which the cap reads as "never wait", so it now fails in
seconds with the rate-limit message while a sync keeps the user's budget.

The interpolation tests `is not none` rather than using `or 120`, because a
falsy check on 0 would hand check the 120-minute default and reinstate the
hour-long sleep. A test covers it.

GitHub Enterprise Server (airbytehq/airbyte-python-cdk#1121). GHES ships with
HTTP API rate limiting disabled and answers GET /rate_limit with 404. Quota
seeding runs before the first stream request, so that 404 failed every
command on such an instance. unavailable_status_codes: [404] seeds those
tokens untracked instead: requests are still signed and tokens still rotate,
only the authenticator's own quota bookkeeping is skipped, and rate limiting
the instance does enforce is still handled by the stream error handler.

Both guards were mutation-checked. Also fixes the existing rotation test,
which relied on the fixture's year-2099 reset and would now trip the cap.

Suite: 224 passed.
