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.
