In dvcs , we have hourly schedule job (soft syncs) for repository sync which works fine when we have less number of repos, PRs, PR review comments etc.

But In case of  large number of repositories ( Approx. 10k+ )  , changesets and pull requests it trigger lots of sync rest calls and create sudden load on git host ( specially self-hosted Github Enterprise where rate limit at user level is not configurable )  

Also, we do no have a sizing guide for how big the self-hosted githubE server should be based on the number of repos, PRs , PR review comments etc. that Jira needs to syn

Hence , we'd like to request DVCS Github features in Jira 

• To have consistent load on git server  please provide option to limit the rest call while hourly sync job
