To maintain good system performance and prevent spam on the activity feed, set a Push event activities limit. By default, GitLab sets this limit to 3. When you push changes that affect more than 3 branches and tags, GitLab creates a bulk push event instead of individual push events.

For example, if you push to four branches simultaneously, the activity feed displays a single {{< icon name="commit">}} Pushed to 4 branches at (project name) event instead of four separate push events.

To set a different Push event activities limit, either:

• In the Application settings API, set the push_event_activities_limit.

• In the GitLab UI:

  1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select Admin.
  2. On the left sidebar, select Settings > Network.
  3. Expand Performance optimization.
  4. Edit the Push event activities limit setting.
  5. Select Save changes.

The value can be greater than or equal to 0. Setting this value to 0 does not disable throttling.
