# Usage and limits

CodeRabbit Agent for Discord is designed for public open-source community workflows. During launch, the integration is intentionally limited so maintainers can keep CodeRabbit's work visible to the community and aligned with repository permissions.

## Supported surfaces

| Discord surface  | Supported during launch |
| ---------------- | ----------------------- |
| Public channels  | Yes                     |
| Private channels | No                      |
| Direct messages  | No                      |

Use CodeRabbit in public channels where maintainers and contributors can see the request, context, and result.

## Repository eligibility

CodeRabbit Agent for Discord is available during launch to selected open-source communities with a GitHub repository that has at least 1,000 stars.

If your community has multiple repositories, use the eligible repository as the setup anchor and make sure the connected GitHub account has the repository permissions needed for pull request creation.

## Pull request authorship

Pull requests created from Discord are authored by the connected user's personal GitHub account. GitHub permissions, branch creation, and pull request attribution follow that account.

This means:

* The connected user must have permission to create branches and pull requests in the target repository
* Repository maintainers can review the PR as a contribution from that user
* CodeRabbit does not author Discord-initiated pull requests through a shared GitHub bot account during launch

## Usage caps

CodeRabbit Agent for Discord is unpaid during launch, but usage is capped per user or organization. Caps help keep the launch reliable while CodeRabbit supports open-source communities.

If usage is capped or paused, wait for more usage to become available or contact CodeRabbit support for help with an eligible community.

## Support

For setup issues, eligibility questions, or unexpected usage-cap behavior, use the [CodeRabbit support page](/support). Include the Discord server name, the public channel where CodeRabbit is configured, the GitHub repository URL, and the connected GitHub account that should author pull requests.
