What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?
controller is running on ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Reproduction steps
-
import a project
-
save
-
project scanning hits rate limiting on the server
-
hit "Scan multibranch pileline now"
-
project scanning hits rate limiting on the server
Expected Results
rate limiting should be understood but should allow the process to continue scan after a determine amount of time (can be configurable, to match the rate limiting on the server)
Actual Results
project never finishes scanning with this error
