The limit only applies to users without write access — users with write access or higher are not affected. +Draft pull requests do not count toward a user's limit. Only open, non-draft pull requests are counted when determining whether a user has reached the maximum. + ### Adding trusted contributors to the bypass list Rather than granting full collaborator access, you can add trusted contributors to a bypass list, allowing them to exceed the pull request limit while keeping their permissions otherwise unchanged. This bypass is ideal for regular external contributors who routinely open multiple pull requests but do not need the additional permissions that come with collaborator access.
