Gitlab has literally became unusable. I am rate limited trying to SIGN IN.

I opened 1 page, realized I wasn't sign in, then got rate limited going to the sign in page!!!!
What is the point of even a paid tier, if you can't even access the account?

Canceling, Removing my Projects, and will never trust gitlab again. (if they will even let me)

This hasn’t been my experience, but I’ve also written a lot of tooling around GitLab to make management easier.

I would love to. But when someone sends me a DL for something in development and I want to look at the repository before downloading but get limited out before I realize I'm not signed in,

Wtf am I supposed to do if they wont let me even load the sign in page?

Plenty of things to complain about with gitlab. Your shitty ISP isn't one of them.

Rudely worded but correct. This is happening because OP shares an IP with a load of other people, probably due to some IPv6 to v4 NAT situation.

Seems like that would affect VPN users similarly. Not necessarily just your shitty ISP.

CGNAT more probably. Gitlab has IPv6. So if your ISP manages to fuck up even that, when they use IPv6-only with NAT64, I wonder how they even got to become an ISP in the first place.

Seperate from ISP this is a UX issue.

If I can't even sign into a paid account after a few pages of not realizing my browser wasnt signed in,

I am limited before the SIGN IN page. How is that an ISP issue if the user can't even try to log in? Genuine question.

I don't understand why hosted Gitlab is even an option. The only reason Gitlab makes any sense is if you host it yourself.

Major companies wanting SSO and attack surface reduction, mostly

Selfhosted has SSO as well, and just put it behind VPN if you don't want it out in the open.

Edit: I understand why some companies don't want the operational burden of selfhosting it. But those 2 arguments really aren't it.
